Pittsburgh, Pa.
Monday, January 2, 1922.
On Monday, January 2, 1922, at 10
o’clock a. m. the members-elect of
the Council of the City of Pittsburgh,
together with those holding over,
convened in the Council Chamber of
said City, in accordance with the
provisions of the Act of Assembly
of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl¬
vania, approved May 31, 1911.
The Council was called together by
Edward J» Martin, City Clerk.
And on motion of Mr. Herron, Mr.
Martin was elected chairman pro tern
of the meeting.
The Chair presented
No. 1.
CJommonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I ss:
I, John Vogt, Prothonotary of the
Courts of Common Pleas in and for
the County and State aforesaid, do
hereby certify, that at an election
held on the eighth day of November,
A. D. 1921, William Y. English, P. J,
McArdle, John S. Herron, James F.

duly elected to the office of Council
of the City of Pittsburgh, County and
State aforesaid.
Witness my hand and the seal of
said Court the 15th day of December*

(Seal of County JOHN VOGT
of Allegheny) Prothonotary.
Which was read, received and filed.
And the Chairman requested the
following members-elect, Messrs Wal¬
lace Borland, Wfliinm Y. English,
John S. Herron, James F. Malone and
J. McArdle to arise in their places
to take the oath of office, which was
administered to them by the City
Clerk, Kdward J. Martin.
The roll being called, the following
members responded to their names:
Present—Messrs.
Anderson Malone
Borland McArdle
English Robertson
Herron Winters
Absent—Mr. Garland.
A quorum being In attendance.
Council proceeded to the election of
a President.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. Chairman, I desire to nominate
for the office of President of Council
one who by experience and ability
is well qualified to preside over this
body. We are now governed by the
party system in our municipal elec¬
tions. I believe every member of
Council is an adherent of the Repub¬
lican Party.
It is natural, therefore, that we
should select for our President, a man
who has been a stalwart Republican,
We are fortunate in having in the
Council a man who measures up to
every requirement. The man I pro¬
pose has always been active in the
campaign for Republican candidiates
for many years whether in City,
County, State or Nation. He has
already been honored by the Repub¬
lican Party as Vice Chairman of the
Executive Committee of Allegheny
County. In the recent election he
was promoted to the position of Act¬
ing Chairman on account of the can¬
didacy of the Chairman.
1
I believe the man I offer for your
consideration has the sense of appre¬
ciation a presiding officer should have
for I believe he will give every mem¬
ber a square deal and will render
decisions without fear or favor. I
know he understands the line of
demarcation between the executive
and legislative branches of the City
government. I know he will be mind¬
ful of the respect which is due the
executive and also of the respect due
the Council. I feel sure that under
his guidance there will be harmony
In this Council and there will be
co-operation with the Chief Execu¬
tive. I know from his record In |
Council that he has voted the cour¬
age of his convictions. I have not
always agreed with him and expect
in the future that I may often dis¬
agree with him, but I am satisfied
that he will serve with dignity and
respect, and will be a credit to us
if we elect him as our President. I
take pleasure in presenting the name
of Daniel Winter*.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. Chairman, I rise to second the
nomination of Mr. Winters.
And there being no other nomina¬
tions, the nominations closed on the
name of D.^nlel Winters.
And the result of the voting was as
follows:
For Daniel Winters t
Messrs.
Anderson Malone
Borland Winters
English
When the name of Mr. Herron was
called, he arose and said:
Mr. Chairman, I vote for Mr. Rob¬
ert Garland.
When the name of Mr. MeArdle was
called, he arose and said:
Mr. Chairman, I vote for Mr, John
S. Herron.
When the name of Mr, Robertson
was called, he arose and said:
Mr, Chairman, I vote for Mr. John 9.
Herron.
When the name of Mr. Winters was
called, he arose and said:
Mr. Chairman, a majority of Council
want me. Following the precedent 1
established by the retiring President, \
I cheerfully vote for myself.
And Mr. Daniel Winters received five j
votes.
And Mr. Robert Garland received one 1
vote.
And Mr. John 9. Herron received
two votes.
And Mr. Daniel Winters, having re¬
ceived a majority of the votes of
Council, was declared duly efected
President for the ensuing term.
Mr. English moved
That the election of Mr. Win¬
ters as President of Council be made
unanimous.
Mr. Robertson arose and said:
Mr. Chairman, I rise to a point of
order. I think the gentleman is out
of order.
The Chair ruled
The Point of order ‘'well tak¬
en.”
The Chair said:
I appoint Mr. English and Mr. An¬
derson to escort the President-elect to
the Chair.
Mr. English arose and said:
Gentlemen and Friends:—I take
1 pleasure in presenting to you the
newly elected President of the City
Council for the term beginning today
and ending the seventh day of Janu¬
ary two years hence—Daniel Winters.
Mr. Winters arose and said:
Members of Council, Ladies and
Gentlemen:—I regret, of course, that
my election as President of Council
j could not be made unanimous. I ac-
I cept such a situation with all the re-
^ sponsibility that it may entail, feeling
' myself equal to any such situation.
I regret very much that the oldest
member of this Council is unable to
be present at this meeting. I received
a message from him through Hon.
E. V. Babcock, Mayor, expressing his
! god wishes to the body, wishing all
the members a Happy New Year, and
stating that he is progressing nicely
and will be out next week. I know
all his friends will be glad to hear
j this.
i I have a few remarks to make which
j I will read so that I may not be mis¬
quoted.
I want to thank you gentlemen of
Council for the honor and confidence
you have placed in me by electing me
President. It is an honor of which I
am keenly sensitive and appreciative.
I was born in the City of Pittsburgh,
as was my father before me and am
proud of its greatness. I am proud
of its place among the great Cities
of the country and its history. I
shall do everything in my power and
believe you will also to advance Its
interests.

Today is the beginning of a new
year and a new era in the City Gov¬
ernment. We are beginning the new
year with a new Chief Executive and a
new Council re-organized to the ex¬
tent of one-third of its membership,
and a new condition of government.
Since 1913 until this present date we
have operated under a non-partisan
system of government. The last legis¬
lature saw fit to change that system
and revert again to the party system,
by which form of government the
county, the state and the nation are
operated. This is a departure from
the established custom of the last
nine years.
In the recent campaign for the
offices of Mayor and Council the can¬
didates elected submitted their can¬
didacy to the Republican electorate
with certain defined principles and
policies, which incorporated their views
of the City’s needs and the remedy.
Their nomination and election is
equivalent to a covenant with the
people of Pittsburgh guaranteed by
Republican Party responsibility. With
an administration headed by a Repub¬
lican Mayor and all of the present
members of Council Republicans, I am
concerned for the welfare of the Party
and the keeping of the faith.
For the past 9 years (ever since
the institution of the non-partisan
system), considerable public agitation
and confusion in the Council itself has
been caused by factional differences.
The Chief Executive who takes his
oath of office today and the members
of Council, in pledges made to the
people of Pittsburgh, promised that
a supreme effort would be made to
wipe out factional differences and
harmonize the executive and legislat¬
ive branches of the City Government,
to the end that the City business would
be conducted efficiently and intelli¬
gently. I urge upon you to give your
fullest support that these promises
be made good.
We have just recently emerged from
the most terrible war in the history
of the world. Since the conclusion of
this war the whole world has become
appalled at the charges and results
of extravagance, mismanagement and
heretofore unheard of expenditures.
The watchword now is economy and
efficiency in the administration of all
governmental functions, so that taxes
which have become burdensome, al¬
most to the extent of confiscation,
shall be reduced. To this end I urge
your cooperation to the fullest extent
with the Chief Executive of the City
in consumating this result. Council
recently jointly agreed with the in¬
coming Chief Executive in matters of
retrenchment, efficiency and reduced ex¬
penditures for the management of the
City Government for 1922.
Members of Council are elected by
the people and owe an accounting to
the people for their stewardship. It
should be borne in mind that Council
has its own responsibilities and has
its own decisions to make in many
questions that come before the body.
There is a distinct difference between
the legislative and executive responsi¬
bilities. Each has its own perogatives.
Each should extend to the other cour¬
tesy and consideration that, under the
law ahd all fairness, are due. Each
should safeguard and protect its per¬
ogatives.
All of the names of the department
heads which constitute the Mayor’s
cabinet should receive your prompt
approval and all possible help be giv¬
en to the Chief Executive in his re¬
quests and the requests of his depart¬
ment heads, which, in your judgment,
are fair and reasonable.
Let all past differences be laid aside
and let us start the new year with a
resolution that we are going to func¬
tion with one thought in mind—the
advancement of the City of Pittsburgh
and its people.
Council is ready for business. May¬
or Babcock is present. Would you like
to say something to the new Council,
Mayor?
Hon. E. V. Babcock, Mayor, arose
and said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of
Council, I am grateful to you, Mr.
president, for the opportunity of fac¬
ing this audience this morning and
bidding you good-bye as I step out of
the Mayor’s office and hand it over to
the Mayor-Elect.
I am grateful to all of you for the
able assistance many of you have
rendered me in the stewardship of
the Mayor’s Office. A mayor cannot
be much of a mayor without the as¬
sistance and cooperation of the people
of the city of which he is the head.
Nearly all of you helped me and I
retire with extreme gratitude to you
all.
To the President of Council, I con¬
gratulate you upon ' your election. I
know you will have a responsible
position to fill.
I beg and beseech of your considera¬
tion for your Chief Executive, and I
ask you, in all earnestness, not to
hand him the treatment that you
handed me at time. It gets you no¬
where, it retards him; it is not for the
best interest of the city that you are
elected to serve.
Mr. President, I recommend that you
recess and take up the Mayor's ap¬
pointments at the earliest hour he
wants you to consider them, and do
not treat him as Council treated me
four years ago. Gentlemen of Coun¬
cil it is a duty you owe him. I am
not here to criticize and chastise the
members of Council. I retire from the
office of Mayor with a feeling that I
have kept the faith and lived the life
and made the best Mayor that I could,
and if any of you think you can do
better I hope to God you have the
opportunity.
May this new year that we are now
entering have the best for all of us
in it—for you my good friends of
Pittsburgh. Let us pull together in
this public life as you would in pri¬
vate life so that this may be a better
city, a beter state and a better nation
for all of us to live in.
At this time Mr. Winters took and
subscribed to the oath of office as
President of Council, which was ad¬
ministered to him by E. J. Martin, City
Clerk.
Mr. English moved
That a committee of three be
appointed to draft a set of rules for
Council and to recommend any amend¬
ments they may desire.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, the thought in my
mind at this time is, that the pres¬
ent rules are satisfactory with one
exception. To my mind, since the
President of Council will not be the
Chairman of any standing committee
and therefore will not have the op¬
portunity of presiding over committee
meetings, 1 thought, perhaps, wo
might adopt a new scheme. My pur¬
pose Is to adopt a new rule to the
effect that the President of Council
would preside at all hearings for
the reason that the people of Pitts¬
burgh when they appear before Coun¬
cil for hearing do not know whether
we are sitting as Council or com¬
mittee, and I want to put on the
President of Council the burden of
arranging hearings with the public.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I see no objection
to that; but If we are to start as
you said, in a spirit of co-operation,
the committee should be appointed
if the motion Is adopted, and when
the recommendations of the commit¬
tee are submitted to Council we can
then discuss them.
The Chair said:
I agree with you, Mr. Herron. The
committee should be appointed and
then their recommendations submit¬
ted to Council and discussed.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the motion, ‘'That a com¬
mittee of three be appointed to draft
a set of rules for Council and to
recommend any amendments they may
desire?"
The motion prevailed.
And the Chair appointed Messrs.
English, Malone and Herron on the
committee.
The Chair said:
I am going to call upon the newly-
elected members for remarks. Mr.
Borland.
Mr. Borland arose and said:
Mr. President and Members of
Council, Ladies and Gentlemen: I feel
very highly honored today because
of niy election as a member of Coun¬
cil of the City of Pittsburgh.
I am going to try to live up to
the promises I made during the cam¬
paign—that is to do the best I can
for the City and its citizens and to
co-operate with Mayor-Elect Magee to
carry out his pledges. That is all
I have to say at present.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, Members of Council,
Ladies and Gentlemen: In assuming
the duties of a member of Council
of the City of Pittsburgh, I realize
the responsibilities and obligations of
this office, and I intend to comply
with them. For quite a number of
years we have been electing City offi¬
cials on a non-partisan ballot. At
the recent election, all of the new
officials, the Chief Executive and the
new members of Council were elected
on the Republican Ticket, and I be¬
lieve this selection adds an additional
responsibility to the Chief Executive
and the Council. I believe It will
have a tendency to bring about a bet¬
ter feeling of co-operation between
the executive and legislative branches
of the government. One of the most
important things in any successful
organization is harmony, and I be¬
lieve that should be the aim of all
the members of Council—to bring
about harmony between the Mayor
and Council,
I shall not take up your time with
a long speech at this time, except
to extend to the voters of Pittsburgh
4
my heartfelt thanks for the sup*
port and assistance they rendered me
during the recent municipal election,
and in turn I pledge to render the
best service I know for the City and
its people,
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I presume that most
every one who is present will under¬
stand that this is not the first time
I have been inducted into the office
of Council of the City of Pittsburgh.
I want to say that I come today
with ho different attitude toward this
office than I ever came before. I
have been elected to this office under
a non-partisan program and twice
under a party program, and while
witnessing those changes I have
never seen the necessity of any
change in the mental attitude of my¬
self or any other public officer to¬
wards the responsibility that he as¬
sumes, and I confess that there is
no change in mind.
I come to this office filled with a
sense of responsibility to the citizen¬
ship of Pittsburgh, and I hope that
the time will never come when I
shall be even weakly tempted to
have anyone except myself, be it
political party, political faction or
other individuals, responsible for my
act as a public officer except me
alone; and with this thought in my
mind I made my oath of office today
just as d made it six years ago and
just as I made it in 1912 when I
accepted this office as the result of a
partisan election.
1 have learned nothing knew re¬
cently regarding the relative posi¬
tions in municipal government and
the administrative and legislative
bodies.
I flatter myself that I have always
been able to discern the very marked
difference between the responsibili¬
ties and duties that each of these
had laid down to them by the law
and all of my acts have been taken
with that thought in mind.
In my past services I made no pro¬
fession to have served without error,
and I harbor no false hope that I
shall fill the term that I now embark
on without error of judgment, but
I do look back with marked satis¬
faction to my past official career
and am able to say that I have no
apologies to make for anything that
I have ever done, and I apply that
too beyond my services as a member
of Council. I apply it to all public
service that I have ever rendered and
make the claim, defiant of successful
contradiction, that any of it wsis rettV-.
dered with any other object in rriinU
than to make a surer * foundation^*fc^-
honest, stable and efficient municipal
government.
And I embark upon this new tenure
of office with a determination to
allow that program to mark my
course.
I made no pledges to the people of
Pittsburgh—to anyone except myself
—that my course of action (having
in mind then and explaining then
that that course of action) would be
in accordance with what I believed
to be the desire and will of the
people that I represent, and that is
my position now. So long as I am
able to bring myself into accord with
my colleagues in Council and with
the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh,
it shall give me the same pleasure
that it has always given me in the
past. When I am able to do that
I shall have no hesitancy in assum¬
ing fully my own official responsi¬
bility. That is my program during
the course of my official career,
I want to take this opportunity of
publicly expressing the very keen
feeling of regret that I have in com¬
ing hack to Council I shall not have
the pleasure of serving with Mr; A.
K. Oliver. I regret sincerely his
retirement from public office, and I
have that regret because I am con¬
vinced that in my career as a public
officer I have met few men who
have brought to the responsibilities
of public office a clearer mind, a '
fuller measure of courage, a fuller
determination and will to give thought
and study to enable him to reach
sound .sensible conclusions upon the
things that came before him for
his judgment.
Beyond those remarks, Mr. ’ Presi¬
dent, I have nothing further to say.
The Chair arose and said:
I am sure, Mr. McArdle, that we
all agree with you in your statement
about Mr. Oliver. I especially agree
with you because I did so much to^
make him a member of Council. I
also regret the passing out of Council
of my friend, John H. Henderson.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I am very sorry to
say that I am compelled to call your
attention to the fact that I am here.
I want to say that I am very
grateful to the people of Pittsburgh
who made it possible for me to be
sworn in as a member of this Coun-,
cil. I am, indeed .fortunate, fvpd I
5
appreciate far more than I can find
words to express that I have been
selected again to represent the people
of Pittsburgh.
I have been maligned; I have been
abused; so, Mr. Mayor, you must not j
take It so much to heart. You must
not take it too hard that Council
put too many obstacles in your way.
Pour years ago you made certain
promises that Council wanted kept
and that was the reason for some
of these obstacles. However, in pass¬
ing, I have learned to respect you
and I have a high regard for you
as a man and I wish you well with
a full heart, because I know you are
a 100 per cent man, and that is as
much as any man can say of another.
Two years ago I voted for myself
for the position of President of Coun¬
cil, and honest to goodness, I never
regretted it, and I hope, Mr. Presi¬
dent, that you will never regret It.
I want to say seriously that I will
try in the future, as I have in the ‘
past, to represent all of the people |
of Pittsburgh. I will give you all I
the support It is possible for one
man to give. This little by-play has !
been just an effort to have you take
the same dose that you prescribed for
me two years ago.
The Ohalr arose and said:
I will take it cheerfully, Mr. Her*
ron, and I thank you kindly for your
kind expressions, and I assure you
that I am the beat President in the
Winters family. It would be very
unkind of me not to call upon the
“People’s Champion.’*
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I do not have much
to say on this occasion, but I do
want to throw out a word of warning
not only to the members of Council,
but to this great audience. Some¬
times we get a sQuare deal in our
business before the public. Many
times we do not get a square deal.
I can claim as one man in the Coun¬
cil that I have tried to serve the peo¬
ple and it is a matter of record that
on the three occasions I went before
the P.EOPLE for their vote the
PEOPLE put the stamp of approval
upon my candidacy. Having done
that, why should I hold any allegiance
to anyone except the PEOPLE who
elected me and who pay me for
serving them?
People laugh .at me because I seem
to take my religion so seriously. I
do not mean this so-called mixture
of religion and politics. I do not
believe in this thing of condemning
a man because he happens to be a
Catholic and on the other hand boost¬
ing a man because he happens to be
a Protestant.
When I put my hand up and sub¬
scribed to the oath of office, I swore
before Almighty God, in the presence
of these witnesses, that X would serve
the people with fidelity as I shall an¬
swer at the Great Judgment, and t
have^ tried to do the right thing be¬
cause I am always in fear of doing
something which would be counted
against me on Judgment Day.
Many times my motives were mis¬
interpreted and misconstrued, but you
in this Council know that I have
never knowingly deviated from the
thing that I thought was right,
Mr. President, it may sound ego¬
tistical but I think I have established
a reputation which I must live up to.
I have heard it said about me on
measures pending in Council, “There
is no use bothering English; if the
ordinance is right he will know it
and you do not need to see him.
On the contrary, if the ordinance is
not right, there is no use trying
to persuade English to be for it, for
he will tell you it is wrong and he
will not vote for it. I am proud of
that reputation. It will be my ear¬
nest hope and desire to live up to
that reputation. 1 shall give to the
citizens the best service I can.
I have been maligned many times
because of my endeavor to do what
I thought was right. We are going
into a new year. We are now under
a Republican form or government
and the Republican Party will be
held responsible for our mistakes.
They will be blamed if we fail to
live up to the confidence which the
people of Pittsburgh have placed in
our hands. I say to you and I hope
everyone will carry it from this
meeting that if we all work for
harmony we are bound to get har¬
mony; but if we keep up the fac¬
tional and petty fighting that has
been going on for years, we cannot
have harmony. For my part I pro¬
pose to give every measure and every
person who comes into this Council
a square deal and I expect everyone
to give me a square deal; but 1 in¬
tend to get a square deal if I have
to fight for it.
The Chnir declared' a recess until
11:45 o’clock a. m. and remain in
session until the inauguration cere¬
mony of the Mayor-Elect has ended.

The Cliair said:
Ladies and Gentlemen and Members
of Council: I take pleasure at this
time of introducing His Honor, Mayor
William A. Magee.
Hon, William A. Magee said:
My Fellow-Citizens: I think that
you should not expect me today to
make any very extended remarks
upon what is in my mind and in my
heart in connection with the new
duties that I have to assume today,
acting as your agent and your rep¬
resentative. I have so often during
the past three or four months, and
then during the past fifteen years or
more, expressed my opinion, giving
my pledges towards what my inten¬
tions were with reference to the
government of the City of Pitts¬
burgh.
The foundation stone of my phil¬
osophy of government, the kind of
government under which we live, a
democratic government, is that it is
a government of discussion. In the
last analysis public opinion always
rules. Public officers may have their
views, public officers may exercise
their authority, some arbitrarily and
more frequently unwisely, but in the
, last analysis, all public men in a
democracy most consciously or un¬
consciously adapt themselves to what¬
ever construction they may put upon
what we call the will of the people.
We have a thousand means for find¬
ing out the expression of the will of
the people. Public men must nec¬
essarily adjust themselves to that
public will. Public men also must,
while that public opinion is forming,
use their influence to help in the
creation of that composite final re¬
sult that always come from the peo¬
ple in some form or other; and there
is %vhere democracy is quickest.
Democracy is quickest in coercing
public men into doing and saying,
from time to time, things that for
the moment might seem popular, but
from a long range point of view
may turn out to be unwi.se. Men in
1
public office, If they are worth any¬
thing at all, know more about the
facts involved in the public business.
They ought necessarily to know more
than the private citizen can possibly
know, because they have made a pro¬
fession of this public service.
Public men have their greatest
trials when public opinion In its
forming stages does not entirely
agree with their opinion.
Although the departments of our
government, Nation, State, County,
City, Borough and Township and
School Districts, are the most difficult,
the most complex, the thing that re-
ciuires the greatest study is munici¬
pal government.
Many of you have heard me on
more than one occasion say that the
Mayor of a large city has power and
authority to tread upon the lives of
the people more than any other pub¬
lic official—certainly more than any
man who is occupying merely a
private station, and the reason of
that is, that our modern life has
become so complex. There was a
time on a farm when the family was
a self-supporting economic unit. They
produced their own food; their own
clothing, and what little pleasure
they had they had to be a self-suffic¬
ing unit for that. ’
The economic division or unit of
labor has brought about a condition
where nearly everyone, in one sense
or another, is an expert—I mean by
expert, that he is a specialist. He
earns his livelihood and the bread
and butter for his family, the clothes
they wear, the education they re¬
ceive, the peace and security in their
homes; he earns that by performing
some particular task and receiving
for that a certain commodity, we call
money, and with that money he
translates the comfort and security
and peace of his family Into other
terms. In times gone by this eco¬
nomic machine has become? more and
more complex, and the result has
been, within the past fifty years,
when our population was strongest
on the farm, to put a preponderance
on the cities. The cities are grow¬
ing larger and larger all the time,
and the farm population is growing
relatively less all the time; and those
simple conditions that existed on tne
farm are translated into the most
complex conditions where people
bump up aerainst each other every
hour and minute of their lives; and
the constant collision of these people
has constituted the municipal prob¬
lem which from time to time and
from year to years, become more com¬
plex, more and more difficult, and
every time that we see a new place
where these individual units conflict
with each other we have to pass a
law; we have to pass an ordinance;
we have to regulate the lives of these
individuals whose interests conflict
with each other; and all of these
ordinances regulating the lives of
these individuals are committed in
this City into the hands of one man
who is given authority to appoint
men under him and these men further
authorized to appoint men under them
and so on until we have in this City
6,000 men and women who are under
the Chief Executive of the tity, who
are directed to regulate the lives of
its people.
You can see the responsibility put
upon the one chosen to execute these
laws. You can see that he might use
this power in his own interest. In
the interest of his friends; he might
use it for unlawful purposes, and
political purposes; and the best thing
I can say is that I will resent and
decline to use that power in any of
those senses; and to say to you that
I fully appreciate the high position
I occupy; that I do not intend to
allow that to ever enter into my
mind; that I shall never use that
power for personal gain or to be
exercised for myself or for anybody
else.
I hope that all persons who have
demands to make upon the next ad¬
ministration of a personal nature will
take into account seriously what I
am saying now. I hope they will
look upon, or try to look upon me,
and try to look upon these men and
woman I have asked to help me, not
in a personal sense but as their
representatives. We are only your
agents and the solemn ceremony that
I just went through, my associates
and assistants in turn will go
through. That oath meant some¬
thing, and meant what it said, and
they and I will try, as far as pos¬
sible, to forget ourselves as individ¬
uals In administering this power,
primarily because we are here in
the capacity of deputy and not of
principal.
I want to say in this connection
what I have many times said, that
too much is expected of the Mayor;
too much is expected of the Director
of a department; too much Is ex¬
pected of a City Controller and of
the City Council. You must remem-
8
ber that this authority that was
gU’en to us by the Legislature Is
always and in each case limited. That
authority is not absolute. Every au¬
thority and power put upon any
municipal officer is immediately bal¬
anced by some authority and power
given to some other municipal officer.
In other words, the Mayor is inde¬
pendent of the Council; the Council
is Independent of the Mayor, and the
Controller is independent of both of
them, in regard to certain things;
and then there is another field where
all of them are required under the
law to function together, and if they
do not function together in that in¬
termediate field the public service is
bound to suffer.
I have been thinking most seriously
since I have been elected, and it will
not be amiss at this time to express
the belief that the City Council, the
directors of the executive departments
and I will be able to function har¬
moniously, each of us in our separate
spheres, and all of us working toward
the one common end. It is not, and
has not been in my mind to make
any effort to infringe upon the rights
or duties of the Controller, or upon
the rights or dignity of the legis¬
lative department of the City govern¬
ment. I feel confident that no dis¬
position exists on their part to im¬
pede the executive department in the
exercise of its particular powers and
responsibilities.
I do not believe that there should
be any barrier in making formal
suggestions to the other departments
of the City government; and on the
other hand I will welcome sugges¬
tions from both of the other depart¬
ments of the City government. With¬
out that informal relationship exist¬
ing between us we cannot function,
because before ideas can be put into
form there must be informal discus¬
sion and there must be public dis¬
cussion afterwards; and the thing I
propose now to the other departments
of the City government that they
as individuals feel themselves free
at all times to discuss with me all
matters connected with the govern¬
ment of the City of Pittsburgh under
my charge, and I in turn would pro¬
pose to the other departments that
they be patient with me when I from
time to time propose to them either
as a body or individuals, measures
that effect the welfare of this City
and its people. Nothing would be
more gratifying that when Council
does not agree with me, the vote
would not be composed of the same
individuals In each and every case.
I hope they will consider me and
the directors as individuals and that
they will try to help and not impede
the executive department.
If we should organize ourselves
against each other, then necessarily
we will reach failure; failure for the
City, failure for the people, and most
Ignominously for us all, failure for
ourselves. We as* sane persona ought
to keep that last thought always in
mind. We do not enter into these
duties with that thought in mind—
failure in the end. The only thing
that these men, this woman and my¬
self’ can look forward to at the end
of these few years is that we should
receive your commendation, that we
should receive your approval. There
is no other reward for us.
I intend to make that the path
towa-rds which all my thoughts shall
lead and let me ask you all: I be¬
lieve that every citizen in some man¬
ner or other can help this govern¬
ment. I do not mean in every case
that someone can come forward and
propose a new idea, although there
are many that can and from those
who can, so far as I am concerned,
I not only welcome but ask it. In
passing, let me say that every citizen
can help his government, or at least
he can offer suggestions from time
to time to help , public officers out
of the many difficulties which they
have to meet. He can say his word
of kindness or harshness as his
humor or temperament may be.
I ask you, my friends and the
friends of the City Council, and the
friends of these directors and the
friends of the public, I ask you to
give all of us your co-operation. I
thank you all for the very great
tribute you are payifig us. I consider
it not so much to be a tribute to
us as it Is an expression of your
interest In your City. I ask you
whether you will not keep up this
interest? Help us as we must be
helped and let us make of this City
the ideal that we all have in our
minds.

The Chair said:
I would suggest that the Clerk

Which was done.
Mr. Malone moved
That a committee of three be

Which motion prevailed.
And the Chair appointed on said
committee Messrs. Malone, Borbind
and Herron.
Mr. Anderson moved
That Council now proceed to an

E. S. Morrow, deceased.
Mr, Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, this forenoon when
that proposition was suggested by a
member of Council, the point was
raised that before we enter into such
a serious business we should have
a conference; that a meeting of
Council should be called for that pur¬
pose and that proper notice of the
meeting should be mailed out forty-
eight hours previous to the time of
the meeting. I as Chairman thought
that was alright and so ruled. What
do you think, Mr. President?
The ChniT said:
I think that point would be well
taken under certain conditions. A
motion was adopted that that would
be the program for this afternoon as
all members of Council with the ex¬
ception of Mr. Garland (who is con¬
fined to his home on account of 111-
Malonc
McArdle
Robertson
Winters (Pres.)
ness) would be present, and I thought
that program met with the approval
of all the members of Council. At
the present time I think it would be
a matter for Council to decide,
Mr. Herron said:
Did I understand you to say that
there was a motion adopted that
Council would go into this election
this afternoon?
The Chair said:
Yes, sir,
Mr. Herron said:
That was only an announcement
from the Chair. No motion was
adopted to that effect. Before action
Is taken I think it would be well
for all the members of Council to
confer on this matter.
The Chair said;
If the members of Council wish
to confer upon the subject, I would
suggest that we take a recess for
10 or 15 minutes.
Mr. Herron moved
That Council recess for 15
minutes, for the purpose of conferring
upon the election of a successor to
the late B. S. Morrow, City Con¬
troller.
Upon which motion Mr. Anderson
demanded a call of the ayes and
noes, and the demand having been j
sustained, the ayes and noes were
taken agreeably to law, and being
taken were:
Ayes—Messrs.
Herron
McArdle
Noes—Messrs.
Anderson
Borland
Ayes—4.
Noes— 4.
And a majority of the votes of
Council not being in the affirmative,
the motion did not prevail.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, it is true that I did
make the statement this morning
that Council should confer on this
subject and that a meeting of Council
should be called for this particular
purpose and that notices be sent out
forty-eight hours previous to the
time of the meeting, as provided in
the rules of Council. I made that
statement this morning before read¬
ing certain editorials which apeared
in the morning papers. I have
changed my mind, and before the ad¬
journment of Council I will ask for
personal privilege to reply to those
editorials.
The Chair said:
I hope you will keep out all mat-,
ters not germane to the question.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I did not read either
of the editorials, so you will under¬
stand that I am not interested in
those criticisms. I made my motion
to learn how sincere some of the
members of Council were to confer
one 'With the other on this subject. I
have accomplished my purpose, and
I have no objection to entering into
this election.
■And the question recurring, “Shall
Council proceed to an election for
City Controller?” vice Mr. E. S. Mor¬
row, deceased.
The motion prevailed.
Mr, Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, I place in nomina¬
tion for City Controller, the name of
I John H. Henderson.
Mr. Anderson, seconded the nomina¬
tion.
And there being no other nomina¬
tions, the nominations closed and the
Chair ordered the Clerk to call the
roll on the name of John H, Hen¬
derson.
For Mr. Henderson:
Messrs.
Anderson Malone
Borland Robertson
Ens-lish Winters (Pres.)
Herron
When the name of Mr. McArdle was
called, he arose and said:
Mr. President, I desire to be re-
as voting for Mr. H. S. Briet-
enstein.
A-d Mr. John H. Henderson re¬
ceived seven votes.
And Mir. H. S. Brietenstein received
one vote.
And Mr. John H. Henderson having
I received a majority of the votes of
I Council was declared duly elected City
Controller to fill the unexpired term
of E. S. Morrow, deceased.
At this time Honorable William A.
Magee, Mayor-Elect, appeared and
said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of
Council: I desire at this time to sub¬
scribe to the oath of office before
the Council. There are two acts
of Assembly covering this subject—
one stating that the Mayor-Elect can
be sworn in office any place, and the
Robertson
Winters (Pres.)
English
Malone
12
other requiring: that the oath of office
must be administered before the Council
in the Council Chamber. 1 have already
subscribed to one oath, and I am here
to comply with the second act by
subscribing: to the oath of office be¬
fore Council.
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, we are now assembled j
in executive session, and it will be i
my privilege to administer the oath
of office to Hon. William A. Magee,
Mayor of Pittsburgh, In the Council
Chamber.
The oath of office was administered
to Hon. William A. Magee, Mayor, by
the President of Council, Hon. Daniel |
Winters.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I rise to a question
of personal privilege. I am grieved,
indeed, to find in the papers of this
morning editorials which would at¬
tempt to inflame the people of Pitts¬
burgh against the Council of the
City of Pittsburgh.
I did not see these articles this
morning, or I would have spoken
about this at that time. I did not
get an opportunity to read the papers
until noon.
I am particularly grieved at the
miserable attempt of the Gazette
Times, which claims to be a Repub¬
lican newspaper, criticize the speaker
as an opponent of the new admin¬
istration.
After the inaugural ceremonies at
noon I met Mr. George S. Oliver
of the Gazette Times and while
shaking hands with him I told him
that I was going to make a state¬
ment in Council this afternoon re¬
garding this editorial. I also told
Colonel Rook of the Pittsburgh Dis¬
patch that I intended to make a
statement about the editorial in this
morning’s “Dispatch.” So it Is with
no hard feeling toward them that 1
make this statement, but in an effort
to clear the matter up.
I want the members of Council to
bear with me while 1 read the edi¬
torial as It appeared in the G^azette
Times of this morning.
“MACHINE OBSTRUCTION EMERGES
“The anomalous situation which has
developed in City Council bodes ill
for the public welfare, presaging em¬
barrassment of the Magee adminis¬
tration In carrying out the well-
conceived program of service to which
Mr. Magee is pledged. A coterie in
and out of Council, which supported ]
Mr. Magee in the primary contest,
has turned against him and one mem¬
ber, William Y. English, who was
re-elected on the Magee ticket in a
sense, has already begun to demean
himself as if he had been chosen
mayor of this great city. On the
other hand, the re-elected members
of Council and their colleagues of
the element that opposed Mr. Magee's
candidacy in the primary campaign
but loyally supported him as the
party choice at the November elec¬
tion, have given earnest of their pur¬
pose to uphold the hands of the new
mayor in all his efforts to promote
good government.
“In this the former anti-Magee
councilmen adhere to the principle
that should govern all members of
the local legislative body and good
citizen of every shade of political
opinion. Only by giving the new
administration opportunity to dis¬
charge its duties and fulfill the
pledges given, helping wholeheart¬
edly, can the public interests be
served as they should be. The people
will not miss the implications of
the present anti-Magee efforts to ob¬
struct and dominate.”
Now, Mr. President, I submit, and
I think Mr. Oliver (the owner of this
paper) will admit, that I have not
done anything to demean myself, un¬
less it was to go before the people
in spite of the opposition of Mr.
Oliver and his newspapers and help
to elect a man as Mayor of Pitts¬
burgh who I thought was best
fitted for the office. Instead of the
speaker doing anything to obstruct or
harass Mayor Magee exactly the re¬
verse is the truth.
Only last week, in this very Council
Chamber, I complained of the members
of the former Council voting for an
ordinance to provide five-year leases
for the stalls and stands in the
North Side Market, which leases do
not expire until April, 1922; other
members of Council, who are praised
in the last paragraph of this Gazette
Times editorial by their votes, gave
the stall holders a lease for one year
beyond the term of the Magee ad¬
ministration. I objected to that and
said that the stall owners would
bring down upon themselves the
wrath of the people and that It was
tp embarrass the Mayor and was a
miserable, vicious thing to extend the
leases for a year beyond the term
of Mayor Magee. That happened only
a few days ago, yet not one word of
criticism w'as published about this
action by a majority of Council,
The owner of the Gazette Times
knows more than any other man In
13
Pittsburgh ho.w you were cheated out
of the Presidency of this Council two
years ago. Is it possible that he
Is not satisfied with our action in
electing you President today?
Mayor Magee and I have been close
friends and political associates for
15 years. In all that time he has
never asked me to do anything wrong
and while I have always supported
him politically, I have never sur¬
rendered my independence to him or
any other person. No man in this
Council has given Mr. Magee the
years of help and political support
that I have given. Yet I am held
up in ridicule as an obstructionist
ap-ainst his administration. The
Mayor’s cabinet has been confirmed
by the votes of all the members pres¬
ent, eight in number; no ordinances
have been presented, yet we are held
up to the people of Pittsburgh as
obstructionists. How can we have
harmony in the City (government if
the newspapers start up such articles
before we even get organized as a
Council. It is not right and I hope
it will not be repeated. This Council
has a right to do its own thinking
and voting and until we do some¬
thing that deserves criticism we
should not be held up to public ridi¬
cule as has been done today.
I am for harmony in this Council
if I have to fight for it. Is there
a man in this Council Chamber who
worked harder for Mr. Magee’s elec¬
tion than I did? This article is an
attempt to drop poison in the heart
of one friend of 15 years' standing. I
am paying interest yet on money I
spent for his former candidacy. This
is an insidious attempt to bring dis¬
cord between Mayor Magee and his
friend. W. Y. English. I want to
suggest to this audience and to all
the newspapers, including this sup¬
posedly Republican paper (The Ga¬
zette Times) that there will not be
any trouble in this Council if the
newspapers play fair.
Because we happen to have inde¬
pendent views, these newspapers are
going to pillory us. On all measures
presented to Council I shall vote for
those which I think are right and
against those which I think are
wrong.
During the budget sessions we sat
down with Mr. Magee and discussed
with him the Items in the budget.
The Council accepted his recommen¬
dations In many instances and, he
approved mo^t' of mine. Mr. Babcock
stepped put aad permitted Mayor-
Elect Magee to sit with Council dur¬
ing these sessions and practically ex¬
ercise the function of the • Mayor.
The members of the last Council met
with Mayor-Elect Magee and accepted
nearly all of his suggestions and ad¬
vice, and the members of Council
know that we had no bitter argu¬
ments during these sessions which
these newspapers would lead the peo¬
ple to believe.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch editorial
is headed, “Let Council hear from the
people.’’ I will not take time to
read this editorial. In substance, it
is an unjust criticism of the entire
Council for which there is no foun¬
dation at all. The people have elected
the nine members of Council, and
the people expect each Councilman
to serve the people.
i
The editorial statement continues.
I "that it is perhaps well that this
I contest has come at the beginning of
! this administration." This is mani¬
festly unfair to the members of
Council. There is no contest on be¬
tween Mayor Magee and Council, un¬
less these newspaper articles provoke
a contest. I have not heard of any
I opposition to the cabinet appoint-
j ments and I know that I do not in-
' tend to hamper Mayor Magee, but on
j the other hand, I intend to co-operate
with him and help make his admin¬
istration a success.
Some powerful Interests have been
at work. It was suggested that I re-
1 sign from Council and become the
I City Controller, place another in my
I Council seat, and thus wrest the
balance of power from the. five in¬
dependent members who have organ¬
ized the Council today. Have we
committed a crime against the City
; , or Mayor Magee in electing a Presi¬
dent of Council. I cannot see any
injury to any person in the election
of a President. I do not criticize
any persons who suggested me for
the office of City Controller. I thank
them publicly for having tried to do
something they thought might help
me.
I am for harmony. There is no
factionalism and no opposition to
Mayor Magee. If we are going to
have harmony in the City Government
we men in Council must turn a deaf
ear to this newspaper poison. I do
not think the owners of the news¬
papers realize what harm results
from such articles. I have no desire
to quarrel with anybody and my
purpose in speaking as I do today
is purely and simply a protest against
unfair and unwarranted publications.
14
I hope our business will be con¬
sidered as public business, and I
want to submit this little illustration
which will show that there is no
necessity for anybody in the City of
Pittsburgh to think or believe that
there is a faction lined up against
Mayor Magee. We heard Mr. Magee
after taking his oath of office that
he wanted conferences with the mem¬
bers of Council; that he knew the
duties of the executive and he knew
the duties of the legislative body of
the City; that he would not infringe
upon the duties of the Council; that
he expected conferences and discus¬
sions with the members of Council
and would welcome suggestions from
them and from any other source
which Would help him to give a sue- '
cessful administration. If we will !
carry out the oath of office and take
this business seriously we ought to
meet with the owners of the news- '
papers and perhaps instead of print¬
ing such sensational articles as these
they will print facts which will be
of benefit to their readers. We need
the newspapers; they have been kind
to me, but in this matter hey have
been very unfair and unjust.
Mr. President, I see that Mayor
Magee has just entered the room. I
want to say to him in the presence
of all these witnesses that his friend
for 15 years, W. Y. English, is not
now and does not intend to join in
any conspiracy to obstruct or hurt
his administration; and I hope the
newspapers will print that statement
in the glaring headlines in which the
unfair articles were printed.
Mr. 3IcArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I have listened to
the introduction into Council of a
very considerable discussion about a
matter which it seems to me the
Council of the City of Pittsburgh as
a corporate institution has no con¬
cern, and in that discussion certain
references have been made which I
would like briefly to refer to for my
ow'n satisfaction.
I refer to that part of Mr. Eng-
linh’d statement concerning an alleged
attempt to have him resign from
Council to accept the office of City
Controller to be followed by the
election of someone else to h'rs place
for purposes which he outlined as
being in his mind.
I only want to say this: That if
any hearer of Mr. English or any
reader of his statement might become
possessed of the idea that I as a
member or prospective member of
Council was interested in such a pro¬
gram he is entirely in error. I did ‘
not discuss such a proposition with
anybody and most certainly did not
agree to it with anybody and would
not had it been discussed with me
I want to say with all candor that
no obligation that would ever come
to me would be met with more
sacredness than the selection of a
successor to E. S, Morrow, and I am
not sure that I would be at all true
to that trust if I became a party to
the program that has been alluded to
if there was such a program. So I
say this, that I played no part In
such a plan if it was ever pro¬
mulgated.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I did not say that
Mr. McArdle had anything to do with
the suggestion to elect me City Con¬
troller. I said powerful Interests
were at work. It was published in
all the papers before I heard it
myself.
Mr. Herron arose and said;
Inasmuch as this is our first meet¬
ing and I imagine the things we do
here will reflect themselves later on,
I would like to interrogate Mr. Eng¬
lish, with your permission and his
consent, upon a newspaper item in
which criticism was heaped upon
Council.
The Chair said:
I would not object to you making
any statement, but I do not think it
right to go into it. Mr. English made
his remarks under a question of per¬
sonal privilege and they are not sub¬
ject to debate.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I have no objection
to your ruling. Par be it from me
to criticize a newspaper, who by
adverse criticism tends to make us
all the stronger. I have suffered
from such newspaper articles; but at
the same time I think they done me
good and kept me closer to earth.
This editorial that the gentleman
takes exception to I did not hear
until he read it. I say that if that
will have the effect of creating har¬
mony in Council, God bless the man
that , wrote the editorial. That is all
I have to say.
The Chair said:
Council unanimously declared for
the Mayor, and I am glad that the
editors of our City have come to the
position where they want harmony
too. *
And there being no further business
before the meeting, the Chair de¬
clared
Council adjourned.

No. 78. Whereas, theCouncil and
the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, in
conference, deemed it fitting and
proper that official expression be
made of the sense of regret and
loss experienced by the people of this
community in the death of Honor¬
able Boies Penrose; and
Whereas, Honorable Boies Penrose,
many years prior to the termination
of his career, had achieved and since
had maintained pre-eminent leader¬
ship in the affairs of the Republican
party, both in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and Nation—a lead¬
ership won and perpetuated through
recogniiton of his marked ability,
judgment and political intuition—a
leadership that obtained from the
moment he abandoned the practice
of his own profession for the more
strenuous and complex duties attend¬
ant upon a public career—a leader¬
ship which had scholarship and well-
reasoned philosophy for its founda¬
tion; and
Whereas, Senator Penrose was
equany successful as a statesman,
having first been a member of the
Pennsylvania Assembly, a state sen¬
ator and then in 1896 elected to the
United States Senate when but thirty-
six years old. where for twenty-five
years he represented the interests of
the people of this Commonwealth as
one of the most notanle members In
the upper house, his knowledge of
affairs of government being second
to none; as chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, where his re-
HponsibiJities were heavy, especially
during the year just ended. Broken
In health, daily under the care of
physicians, he bravely continued at
his work, dying with his eyes turned
towards the Capitol, where for a
quarter of a century he had been an
outstanding figure; therefore, be it
Re.solved, That the members of the
Council of the City of Pittsburgh as¬
sembled with the Mayor do hereby
express their sense of sorrow and
loss over the decease of the Honor¬
able Boies Penrose; and be it
Further Resolved, That a certified
cojiy of these minutes be forwarded
to the family of the late senator.

The Chair said:
Ladles and Gentlemen: The call
explains the purpose of this meeting
here this afternoon. We have set
apart this afternoon as a special
McArdle
Robertson
Winters (Pres.)
Garland
I service to pay tribute to a faithful
public servant, and we have come
^ here, employes of the City, citizens
I of the City, old time friends of Con-
1 troller Morrow, to pay a fitting trib-
: ute to his memory. The first speaker
I will call upon is the late Control¬
ler’s pastor, Rev. W. R. Jamison, of
the Eighth United Presbyterian
Church.
Rev. W. R. Jamison arose and said:
, Mr. President, Members of Council
! and Friends: About four years ago I
had an invitation extended to me to
meet the Controller in his office for
a conference. In answer to that in¬
vitation I went to the office of the
late Controller, and that was my first
meeting with Mr. Morrow. I have
known him since that time. It was
a conference that one immediately
felt at home by the one who did the
inviting, and as soon as I was in his
presence I felt that I was acquainted
with Mr. Morrow. I have always felt
that way since. Inasmuch as when
j we were through with that confer-
j ence and we arranged to worship to¬
gether at the same church, he said to
me: “There is a* chair at my desk;
when you can find time conveniently
to come in, I wish you would and
occupy that chair.” I oftentime took
that opportunity and became more
' or less acquainted with him in that
I office. I think of him as a man
1 amongst men.
He did not want to be called more
than man and that was to be so con¬
sidered by all his friends. In other
words, he was a democratic man; he
was a friend of the people; he w'as
a friend of everybody, and he wished
everyone to consider him as one of
his friends. I do not think that MV.
Morrow loved all men the same. Not
at all! He loved the be.st that there
is in them. He treated all men kindly
27
and fair, and all men became ac¬
quainted with him in a short while,
because of his familiar • manner and
g-enial conduct towards all people.
i think of him just for a moment ;
as an officer of the City of Pitts¬
burgh. Since you know him so well
who live in Pittsburgh it is not nec¬
essary for me to speak of him as
such.
I^et me refer to two instances of
him in an official capacity. There
was a time when I called at the :
office of Mr. Morrow, and in that |
office a gentleman had come to in¬
terview Mr. Morrow in regard to some
small business matter. This shows
one element of the old Controller, I
think. Mr. Morrow replied to the
gentleman who was presenting his
fight before the Controller In behalf ■
of wages that he wanted. The Con¬
troller said: ‘‘When you come in as
an employe of the City and have your
position authenticated by the Coun- ’
cil and the proper authorities, you \
will be given a respectful hearing." i
The man smiled. Mr. Morrow said: |
‘Tt does not make any difference [
whether you smile or cry." i
The other instance was when 1 i
went into tlie office of Mr. Morrow,
two young men from St. Louis ^ had
approached the Controller to ask' for ,
something from the City of Pitts- '
burgh. The Controller could not
grant the request of the young men
and said in my presence, "Young men, j
I cannot grant your request because 1
I know the limit of the law; there- i
fore wo need not discuss this matter
further." He shook hands with them
and wished them well. He said as
they were leaving, • "Young men, j'ou
have great prospects ahead of you,
and I would suggest that you go back
to your city and become great men
there." They kept talking to Mr.
Morrow—not as Controller but as Mr.
Morrow, I casually spoke, to them
and they realized that Mr. Morrow
was speaking the truth, and that
shows another side of the man.
Because of his genial and pleasant ;
nature, he endeared himself to every¬
one who came in contact with him.
I want to further .speak of him
not only as a man, but as a Christian
man; for as he was a man he was a
Christian, He did not become a mem- '
ber, of any denomination first, but a
Christian. It was the privilege of
Mr. Morrow a little over 50 years ago I
to meet in an unimportant building
on Fifth avenue, where he conducted
a Sunday School and taught the boys
and girls, and I heard numerous ones
speak of it boastfully that they, used
to attend that school of Mr, Mbrrow
when he organized it. That was in
an old dilapidated building, from
what I heard of it. The school out¬
grew that building and the church
located on Van Braam street was
organized in 1848, So you see Mr.
Morrow helped to organize that
church. He was an elder in his
church and always remained in that
capacity until a little while ago. He
said, ‘T cannot play the game any
longer; I must resign. I am too
feeble." He offered to resign as Su¬
perintendent of the Sabbath School,
but he was not allowed to resign. He
was the founder of the Sabbath
School and was its Superintendent
until his death.
It was only a few weeks ago that
Mr. Morrow gave up coming to
church, and prior to that time he was
a regular attendant at the services,
which was an inspiration to any
preacher, an encouragement to the
congregation, and inspired everyone
who came In contact with him.
Today I have briefly said all I
could about Mr. Morrow. I have not
said what the people who came here
today feel, and I hope some person
will say; those people who were so
closely affiliated with him and largely
identified with him in public life.
I want to say that Mr. Morrow
was a loyal man to hi.s church, be-
cau.se he was, f5r.st, loyal to his God.
I am glad to have had the oppor¬
tunity to say a few words here today
and I thank the members of Council
for this permission.
The Chair said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The next
speaker is one who was officially con¬
nected with Mr. Morrow for some
time and knew him very well—an
ex-Mayor, William J. Diehl.
Hon. William J. Diehl arose and
said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle¬
men: I am surprised at being called
upon to say a few words eulogistic
of my dear friend, Eustace S. Morrow.
1 did not expect to say anything.
We were associated together in
affairs for quite a number of years.
I called him “Useless”—a familiar
name. He was anything’ but useless;
he was a useful officer. Those who
knew him best, loved him best. They
loved and admired him. There will
be many a day before the City of
Pittsburgh will find as efficient, trust¬
worthy and capable officer as Mr.
Morrow. I thank you for this op¬
portunity to say a few words in
behalf of Mr. Morrow.
The Chair said;
We will now hear from another ex-
Mayor, w'ho was associated with Mr.
Morrow' for the past four years—
Hon. E. V. Babcock.
Hon E, V. Babcock arose and said:
Mr. President, Gentlemen of Council
and Friends: It is not easy to ex¬
press one’s self at a time like this.
I believe it is not easy for me. I was
proud when I received the Clerk of
Council’s notice yesterday; first, proud
that Council Itself was showing its
real heart In arranging this public
ceremony for Mr. Morrow. I am
proud to think that I was in their
mind and was asked to come over
and join them, and I am glad to he
here and express a word at this
public service for this great and good
man.
I knew him back ten years ago
when I was a Councilman; knew him
w'ell and favorably. I watched his
public life with great interest, be¬
came more intimately acquainted with
him when I assumed the responsibil¬
ity of becoming Mayor of Pittsburgh.
I found him a strong character, a
veritable bulwark in certain respects.
He had an element of fearless cour¬
age that enabled him to say NO as
well as YES and when he said NO
he W'as pretty hard to change.
Ho knew the public work that he
was engaged in and it became an
A. B. C. proposition with him. He
really became a good lawyer as it
affected his office, and yet I may say,
with his own knowledge of the law,
he seught the best legal advice on
things that were worrying him. He
got his foot on good, firm soil; as a
rule so much so that we had confi¬
dence in his position when he took it
and respected it.
I loved and admired him for the
kind of life that he led. I heard
what his pastor had to say about
him; but to an ordinary layman he
lived a Christian life, a consistent
Christian life. It does not make any
difference to you or me, Mr. Presi¬
dent and friends, whether we live a
Christian life or not—a consistent
Christian life, everyone of us love to
see it in another individual. I say a
consistent Christian life; it appeals
to us all in our daily walk, no matter
what our position in life may be and
it helps us to be better men and women,
That kind of life always inspired me
and the kind that Controller Morrow
lived was an exemplification of it.
I made a statement to the public when
he died. I do not know that I can
add more. I am glad to be here and
be of record in this councilmanic
function today in paying honor and
tribute to this splendid man; this
grand old man that we all loved and
respected, and I am glad to have my
name enrolled among yours, Mr. Pres¬
ident, on this occasion. Long live his
memory! Certainly it is such that we
can all afford to envy.
The Chair said;
I see another
old
friend
of
the
Controller’s—one
who
knew
him
as
long and as well as
any
man
in
Pittsburgh—Hon.
William Flinn.
Hon. William Flinn arose and said:
Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gen¬
tlemen: I came to listen, and did
not expect to be called upon to say
anything on this occasion, but I am
very glad to add a few words at this
memorial exercise. I knew Controller
Morrow for at least sixty years—
knew him when I was a child In the
old Sixth ward. I knew him when he
was elected Alderman and he was
known as “Squire Morrow.” He held
public office continuously for sixty
years; he had quite a number of
severe contests, but not a single de¬
feat. Controller Morrow was a re¬
markable man and in every phase of
his life as a public official th*e people
trusted him. He was never an active
politician and he didn’t take part in
factional or party strife. He was
just a well-trusted public servant.
For many years he has had so much
personal strength as Controller that
it was an acknowledged ‘fact that if
all of the political organizations and
factions in Pittsburgh were opposed
to him and he would submit his name
he would be elected—in fact the pub¬
lic didn’t want anybody to run
against him. He was modest, retir¬
ing’. yet very firm when once he
took a position. He was always open
29
to argument—with no enemies to pun¬
ish and no friends to reward.
I cannot recall a single counterpart
of Controller Morrow, He was a
deeply religious man, quiet in his re¬
ligion—and I have aUvays thought
he was the nearest approach to the
example laid down by Christ of any
man I ever knew. In a way, he
exercised a mighty influence—espe¬
cially over the people with whom ho
was associated in i>ublic and private
life. It is a great pity that there
are not more Morrows. He left a
lasting impression on the minds of
the average man—upon the great
mass of people of Pittsburgh. The
City will miss him in many ways
and for a long time to come.
The Chair said;
In the younger days of the Con¬
troller’s life he was surrounded by
newspaper men, who were 'responsi¬
ble for his candidacy for City Con¬
troller, and who were known as his
“Kitchen Cabinet,” and there Is one
of them here today, and we shall be
glad to hear from him—Percy F.
Smith.
Mr. I*orcy F. Smith arose and said:
Mr, President, Ladies and Gentle¬
men: I thought I was going to spring
a. surpri.se on you. but Rev. Jamison
took some of mv thunder. I was one
of the lads in his Sabbath School in
the early Sixties out on old Sixth ave¬
nue, and from that little beginning
.sprang the Eighth United Presbyte¬
rian Church, of which he was the
founder.
I knew him as Squire. Clerk of
Council and City Controller, and in
each of these official positions he
served the City well.
His motto was to be right with his
God a,nd church; and if he was right
with his .God he was right with his
fellowmen,
T was a member of his “Kitchen
Cabinet,” The newspaper men of 30
or 40 years ago loved Mr. Morrow.
It was our pleasure to go into his
office and listen to him. He was not
only fair with u.s but was affable and
courteous.
Controller Morrow was an honor¬
able man as well as a Christian gen¬
tleman. He w'as a genial companion.
He was a true friend, always loyal.
Mr. Morrow was an honor to his
church; he wa.s a credit to his City,
fe.
his country and last, but above all,
he was a credit to his Creator.
“The sweetest lives are those to duty
wed.
Whose deeds both great and small
Ari' one unbroken strand of golden
thread
Where love ennobles all.
of such lives the world sounds no
trumpets; rings no bells.
Till’ book of life the shining record
tells.”
Lee C. Beatty, when called upon,
arose and said;
Mr, President, Ladies and Gentle¬
men: I do not think any man I have
ever met made any greater impression
upon me as a man than Mr. Morrow.
When the City of Allegheny was an¬
nexed to the City of Pittsburgh 1
wa.s, delegated by the late Mr. Wil-
liam B. ^todgers, the then City So¬
licitor. to look after the legal affairs
in the office of the City Controller,
arising from the consolidation of the
two cities, and as a consequence I
became acquainted with Mr. Morrow,
h'rom that time forward to the date
of his death, he always treated me,
more or less, as his legal advisor. I
feel, ns Mayor Babcock, when he said
that it is indeed hard to estimate
the worth of a man like Mr. Morrow.
At least it is difficult for me to ex¬
press in words the feeling I have for
him. Somehow or other. I do not
feel that Mr. Morrow is dead. I feel
that his passing away is not the end
of everything, but that he has .simply
passed from one field of activity to
another. In addition to this I feel
that his influence is still with us.
AH tho men of the present Council
and all the men connected with the
public life of this community for the
past twenty-five years have some¬
thing in their makeup a.s the result
of the influence of Mr. Morrow, and
in this way, to a very vital extent, he
is still with us.
I saw him in his office from time
to time as he met the various difficult
and perplexing problems which arose.
It is hard to realize the number of
burdens of • others which Mr. Morrow
carried on his shoulders. When the
old Council was in existence his in¬
formation and assistance w'ere con¬
stantly sought after by the members,
and his aid, comfort and sympathy
were freely and unstintingly given
30
and this was intensely appreciated
by the members of Council themselves
and by their constituents.
I cannot better express my thoughts
of Mr. MCrrow than by saying that
he was at all times a good fellow.
My wife on several occasions had a
birthday dinner for me and Mr. Mor¬
row was an invited guest, and when
his health permitted he attended. Al¬
though there was a great difference
in the ages of the persons present at
these affairs, Mr. Morrow was always
at home with all of them and entered
into the spirit of the occasion as
though there was no difference in
ages at all. I felt toward Mr. Mor¬
row as though he were in the rela¬
tionship to me of a father. He had
an exceedingly kind disposition and
did not harbor hatred for any¬
body. In all his relationships and
associations with his fellowmen he
seemed to have that attitude which
parents have for their children. Our
parents do not judge us from the
standpoint of what we are, but rather
from the standpoint of what they
wish us to be, and that is the way
Mr. Morrow seemed to judge his
fellowmen. I cannot express my feel¬
ings better than by saying that I
liked Mr. Morrow, that I loved him,
and when I say this I think I am
expressing the feeling of all of his
associates. Mr. Morrow will not be
soon forgotten and he has left to us
a legacy of sympathy and good feel¬
ing which we cannot forget.
The Chair said:
of the Eighth United Presbyterian
Church will endorse what I say.
Those two men were Rev. John Sands
and Mr. Morrow.
Mr. Morrow, on Sunday, was our
Sunday School Teacher. It is an un¬
fortunate truth, but we know that it
is a truth that to many boys on the
week days th eSunday school teacher
is not what he is on Sunday; but Mr,
Morrow was not a Sunday School
teacher of that kind.
We universally respected that man
every day in the week. He was to
us Squire Morrow, to whom we al¬
ways looked up and respected.
As I grew older and came to be a
young man and got to be a teacher
in that same Sunday School that in¬
fluence broadened and deepened, and
I do not believe there is in the City
of Pittsburgh today or ever was any
man who brought young men into
closer contact with himself and who
made a better impression on them.
He was that rare combination a poli¬
tician and Christian. One unfortunate
thing is that we do not have more
men in public life with these same
qualities.
I knew Mr. Morrow up until the
time he died, and the impression he
has made upon me has been one of
the benign influences of my life, and
I have not yet met any man, young
or old, who did not freely and will¬
ingly give the same testimony to his
very remarkable character.
We will be glad to hear now from
a personal friend of Mr. Morrow—
J. Alex Hardy.
Mr. J. Alex Hardy arose and said:
Mr. President, I had intended writ¬
ing some things down eulogistic of
Mr. Morrow, but unfortunately I have
been in the hands of a doctor and
did not have an opportunity to do so. }
I am one of Mr. Morrow’s boys
that can go back over fifty years with
him. I lived out in what is known
as the old Sixth ward. I first became
acquainted with Mr. Morrow when* I
was going to the Forbes School under
Prof. Eaton. After we graduated from
school I became a member of the
Eighth United Presbyterian Church.
At the head of that church were two
men who I believe had a greater
and a better influence on more young
men in that district than any two
men who ever lived there. I think
Senator Flinn and the other members ‘
The Chnir said:
I will now call upon Mr. Richard
W. Martin, City Solicitor,
Mr. Richard W. Martin arose and
said:
Mr. President, Members of Council,
Ladies and Gentlemen: I did not
come here to say anything, but to sit
and listen. I am rather surprised
that the President has asked me to
saj* an 3 ’’thing. I did not know Con¬
troller Morrow intimately as many
of the gentlemen who have preceded
me, but through my association with
Mr, Beatty, one of the former speak¬
ers, I came in contact with him in
connection with some of the City
business and from time to time saw
him on that and other matters, and
met him socially once in a while, and
I quickly learned to respect him for
the qualities he possessed and to like
him for his many characteristics which
endeared him to* so many people.
31
It has occurred to me while the
people have been talking: that there
has been very much truth said and
very many things said that ought to
make an impression on all of us. It
is quite true that the life of a man
does not end with his death; that
Mr. Morrow being dead yet liveth, be¬
cause I believe that every person who
came in contact with him, as Mr,
Beatty has well said, received from
him an Impression which will be ever¬
lasting. It will not only influence
the person himself, but will carry
that Influence to others in a perpetual
stream from the original source and,
carrying, let us hope, through the
record of' all time in this City, some
of the purity and sweetness of this
man's life. If there was one char¬
acteristic about him that stood out
most prominently, it was his rugged
integrity and fearlessness in the
performance of his duty and his de¬
termination when once he took action.
Let us hope that we who follow him
as citizens of this City may catch
a little of that same spirit, carrying
it out as he carried it out in the
public good.
Mr. C. K. Robinson when called
upon arose and said:
Mr. President, Ladles and Gentle¬
men: “The sunshine paints its own
rainbow, and the garden makes Its
own perfume, so the life and char¬
acter of Eustace S. Morrow tells its
own story and is Its own best
eulogy."
/ He never faltered in his devotion
to his public duties, and he guarded
the City's finances and financial
standing with a jealous eye, which
soon earned him the title of "watch
dog of the treasury," But this did
not mean that he intentionally pre¬
vented or made it difficult for those
having just claims against the City
to be paid. He was always willing
to listen to the pleas of those who
felt they were not being justly treat¬
ed, and he was quick to right a wrong
if he discovered that he had actually
been mistaken.
I do not agree with those who
think that Mr. Morrow was indifferent
to public opinion. For over a third
of a century he enjoyed a public
confidence and support such as comes
to few men in public life, and I feel
that he treasured It as the most
valuable rew'ard of his public service.
He may have been indifferent to the
rritlcisms of those offended by his
! decisions, but he was never indifferent
to public opinion, and he always tried
to carry the public with him. That
he succeeded so well for his entire
j public career is merely a tribute to
! his sterling rugged honesty, and Is
j proof of the fact that there is no
modern substitute in public life for
just old-fashioned honesty of purpose.
We may have smiled at his jealous
support of the old-fashioned book¬
keeping methods, and his resistance
to the idea of modernizing the prac¬
tices in his office, but somehow we
felt and the public felt that its
finances were safer In his hands than
I with all the modern devices of ac¬
counting that scientific ingenuity
' could devise.
i The public has lost a great public
official; thousands of friends of whom
i I always counted myself one, have
I lost a sincere and kindly friend, and
a true and virtuous Christian soul.
I Mrs. Enoch Rauh, Director of the
Department of Charities, when called
; upon, arose and said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle¬
men : I did not expect to be called
i upon on this very significant occa-
[ sion, therefore I am not prepared to
j say all that I should wish. However,
when a heart is attuned to a subject
I one needs little of the mechanism of
; the mind to motivate one's thought.
Mr. Morrow came into my life at
the time when Governor John K.
Tener first appointed my dear good
; husband as one of the original Council
I of Nine. Mr. Morrow conceived from
j the first introduction to Mr. Rauh a
I warm affection and a profound ad-
I miration; and those who loved my
j husband came in for a reciprocal af-
1 fection from me, and so I learned to
I love Eustace S. Morrow. I came to
admire him greatly; I even learned
I to revere him. Succinctly epitomized,
! Mr. Morrow was a useful man; he
I was a man, lovable; a man of integ-
i rity and high moral purpose. He was
! a man who sympathized with human
injustice and social mal-adjustment.
In a word, Mr, Morrow was a great
soul. He needs no monument at our
hands; he created his own.
Hon. William A. Magee, Mayor,
when called upon, arose and said:
Mr. President, I am unfortunate in
I not having had an opportunity to
speak to Mr. Morrow since I left
^ office eight years ago. I, however,
met him probably on two or three
32
occasions, in a casual way, and I
received . from him what I had on
all other occasions when we were
in official relations with each other
and when I was in the Mayor’s office
and in the Common Council of the
City of Pittsburgh.
I have a personal recollection of
him running back almost to my boy¬
hood days when I visited City Hall,
I knew him as intimately as others
who were in official relationship
with him; I knew him so extremely
well, and as has been said, he had
one quality outstanding. He was a
man of sterling integrity, and of
course that was commented upon.
In public life, as you know, it
sees public officials do not receive
credit for the things that they ac¬
complish.
His watchfulness of the public
treasury was another thing that he
was notable for, and that in turn
did not receive a great deal of com¬
ment, because both his integrity and
the sense of his official responsibility
were overshadowed by this other
quality that I have commented upon
and noted as being something about
him which was most extraordinary as
compared with his contemporaries.
In other words, those qualities of
kindliness and sympathy for all per¬
sons were outstanding in his life.
He had a wonderful attitude and
disposition for other people, and it
was from that disposition that I have
in mind a recollection of him, and
when I say that I am only repeating
what has been said here; but that is
u notable trait of his true character.
I do not know of any person who
was so kindly and who was as sen¬
sitive at his heart as Mr. Morrow.
I am sorry that now' coming into
office I will not have the pleasure of
the association of Mr. Morrow'.
Mr. Charles F. Weible, Deputy City
Controller, w'hen called upon, arose
and said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle¬
men: Some men are gifted with the
power to speak that which is in
their minds, or in their hearts. I am
not one of them. Many times in my
life I have wished for that power
but never more than on this occasion.
I wish I could convey to all present
the great personal loss and grief
that is mine over the passing away
of my chief and 'my friend, Eustace
S, Morrow.
For over thirteen years I was in
almost daily association with him
and through this contact I feel that
I came to know him probably better
than any of his thousands of other
friends.
Most men’s actions and thoughts
indicate that we are all alike as “two
peas in a pod’’—stamped out under
the same die—cast in the same mould.
We have heard it said on rare
occasions about certain men that
the mould in which they were cast
had been destroyed. That is my
thought about my friend and your
friend.
There W'as only one Eustace Mor¬
row.
Mr. Charles W. Houston, when
called upon, arose and said:
Mr. President, it is fitting that I
should come here today to pay tribute
to the memory of our dearly beloved
friend, Eustace St. Pierre Morrow.
He was to me more a loving brother
than a friend.. As a child I knew
and revered “Squire” Morrow, and
when he became City Clerk, I, at the
age of 13 years, went into his office
as messenger and was under his
guidance and care for more than ten
years until his election to the City
Controllership. Since that time and
until his passing away I had been
in close personal touch with him.
His honesty, kindness and gentleness
have left an indeliable impression on
my character and I shall never forget
him.
“A TRUE MAN.
Such was our friend. Formed on the
good old plan,
A true and brave and dow’nright
honest man!
He blew no trumpet in the market
place,
Nor in the church, with hypocritic
face,
Supplied with cant and lack of Chris¬
tian grace;
Loathing pretense, he did with cheer¬
ful will
What others talked of while their
hands were still!
And while ‘Lord, Lord!' the pious
tyrants cried.
Who, in the poor, their Master cruci¬
fied,
His daily prayer far better understood
In acts than words, was simply doing
good.
So calm, so constant, his rectitude,
That by his loss alone we know his
worth.
And feel how true a man has walked
with us on earth.”
Mr. norland arose and said:
Mr. President, mere words will not
adequately express one’s feelings j
when that lovable character, E'ustace '
St. Pierre Morrow, is the subject of
our thoughts.
He had a pleasing disposition. No
matter what the provocation, he was
always a gentleman. He was a man
endowed with an abundance of com¬
mon sense, combined with firmness—
elements of character which made him
a man to be liked and respected. I
am glad to have counted him as one
of my close personal friends.
His public and private life was
without a blemish. He was a just
man and it is not right to mourn
unduly the death of a man who has >
lived justly, for he has gone out of '
this troubled human life into one
full of peace and tranquility. j
I am sorry he is gone, but happy
to be able to say, after so intimate
an associatiom with him, that I am
sure the world was better because
of his having lived in it. I
The City of Pittsburgh has lost ;
an efficient public official and all of \
us have lost a friend.
Mr. English arose and said: ■
Mr. President and Friends who are
here to pay respect to the memory of j
Eustace S. Morrow: We cannot say
anything today that will add to the !
honor of this good man. Rather let
us feel that we are highly honored !
and uplifted ourselves in this me¬
morial meeting. In my opinion, Sen- i
ator Flinn expressed it best of all j
when he said that Mr, Morrow had j
tried to live as a sincere follower I
of Christ. Those few words convey •
a tremendous meaning, because we all ]
know that Mr, Morrow did his best j
to live up to the teachings of the
Saviour.
The Christian life and character of
Mr. Morrow should be an example
for us to strengthen our faith in Christ
for the eternity which awaits us.
In the book written by that great
man Theodore Roosevelt, he advised
his children to fear Ood and keep i
His Commandments. There is no bet¬
ter advice possible for any person
to give or receive.
In the life of Eustace S. Morrow
we who knew him all testify that
he did fear God and tried to keep
His Cojnmandments.
In the hustle and bustle for exist¬
ence we are apt to think that making
money and gaining worldly advan¬
tages are the main things in life.
How foolish to think so! Sooner or
later, whether it be the eighty-two
years attained by Mr. Morrow, or per¬
chance, even 100 years, every human
being must finally return to the earth
from which he came. This is where
the life and example of Eustace S.
Morrow should be a help to us. He
did not care for worldly things; he
tried to keep in touch with His
Creator and the Saviour because he
had in mind the great eternity all
must enter after life on earth.
This good man, a servant of the
public, has gone to his reward. Let
us hope that this meeting will be an
inspiration for us to follow in his
footsteps and let us strive to serve
Ood as did Mr. Morrow.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle¬
men: I really do not know that I
can say anything that would impress
the members of Council, perhaps, as
well as the remarks that Mr. Morrow
made himself upon a similar occasion
when Council held memorial service
for our beloved colleague, Enoch
Rauh. 1 can see the old gentleman
standing there, tottering as it were,
and .speaking from his heart, and of
all the things that were said, none
impressed me so much as those
.spoken by Mr. Morrow.
So I am going to repeat the words
Mr. Morrow said on that occasion. Mr.
Rauh and Mr. Morrow posse.ssed the
same character. At that time Mr.
Morrow .said:
“Enoch Rauh was a man who always
kept in mind that he was not a master of
men, but their servant, and he was
just such a man as he wanted those
who were his followers to be. He
had the true humility, not cringing
humility—and he never thought of
himself. He would champion anybody
who was in distress or trouble, was
quick to do it, and knightly in his
conduct.
“He wa.s honest beyond measure. If
he thought a thing was wrong you
could not persuade him to change his
mind. But when he once believed it
was honest, true and good, he stood
for it against all opposition. t
“I want to say, gentlemen, that we
have no longer lease on life than
Enoch Rauh had, and it is well that
we should imitate him in those
things that are good and noble, and
he was full of them. He was a won¬
derful man along that line. It is bet¬
ter for us to pass away and have
men say how much we were loved
or what we have done, not for our¬
selves, but for others, than to have
tablets of bronze erected to our
memory.”
Mr. President, I can say that this
is fitting applicable to Mr. Morrow.
He was a lovable character; he was
a wonderful friend of mine.
It remains to us that we emulate
the virtues of our dead friend, his
unaffected simplicity, his rugged in¬
tegrity and his ardent self for the
public good. He was generous, big
hearted and gracious of word and
manner, which accounts for his wide
popularity; but beyond this were rare
integrity of purpose and loyalty to [
duty, which inspired in his fellow-
citizens that extraordinary confidence
that showed in his character and
judgment.
As I said before he was a friend
of mine. Time and time again I went
to him for advice and he cheerfully
gave it. During the last campaign I
just went through, 1 went to Mr.
Morrow and he gave my candidacy
his approbation and approval.
I say, gentlemen, that words fail
me when I try to express my admira¬
tion for Mr. Morrow. In passing, I
wish it could be said of me when I
leave public office the same as has
been said of Mr. Morrow—that he
served the public well and efficiently.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, there is nothing
much more that can be said with |
reference to the passing of Mr.' Mor¬
row; but I believe that during the
past four years I have had more to
do with Mr. Morrow as a city official
than any other one official in the
City service. I had the privilege of
directing the affairs of the Depart¬
ment of Supplies the last four years
and I not only came In contact
weekly or monthly, but hourly with
the Controller.
Shortly after I entered office four
years ago, I realized that my connec¬
tion with the Controller’s office was
going to be one that would necessi¬
tate a good feeling between the two
departments. I might state, and I
say it very frankly, because the late
Controller told me this himself, that
when I took this office some people
tried to impress him with the fact
that I would not be the kind of a
Director of the Department of Sup¬
plies that he would like to have. Six
months later he came up to my office
w^ith Mr, Long and Mr. Floyd, his field
auditors, and told me that he was
very much pleased with my work.
He sat down and gave me some
advice that T have never forgotten.
I am not going to eulogize him
only in this way, to say that I never
hesitated to go to the Controller when
there was a problem before me that
was complex and always received the
kind of advice that would solve the
problem. When I entered upon my
new duties as a member of Council
last week I was sorry that I would
be unable to have him near to advise
me In the future.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President and Friends: A little
more than ten years have passed
since it first became my privilege to
become acquainted with and associ¬
ated with Controller Morrow. I pre¬
sume my experience has varied but
little if any from the counsels other
men and women who have had the
privilege of knowing him in his ex¬
traordinary long public service* I
doubt if anyone could have a differ¬
ent experience. That experience was
to me not merely to like him but to
love him and to respect him and to
seek closer association with him, be¬
cause no man, particularly any man
in public life, could do other than
profit by association with Controller
Morrow. Because he combined quali¬
ties all too rare in human beings and
certainly all too rare in men who are
raised to positions of great respon¬
sibility as he was. The simplicity of
his character in powei\ it least so
far as I was abie to observe the
fact that he stood out as no other
man in public esteem of his fellow-
citizens, made no change in his atti¬
tude toward either the humblest or
the greatest of tho.se with whom he
came in contact. It made no change
in his view of his official respon¬
sibility.
35
He did not, it seemed to me, in the
even tenure of the way that he had
picked with ^teat care, no doubt, in
the very early begrinning: of his public
service, during- which time he must
have decided very strongly to follow
a given course and he followed that
course, it seemed to me, with infinite
success to himself; and yet I think
that the success and the value of
Eustace S. Morrow's life was to the
public rather than to himself, because
his life has proven things that the
average man will despair.
It has been referred to here as to
what hi.s attitude toward public opin¬
ion was.
1 think he always had an extraor¬
dinary wholesome respect for public
opinion, and yet, while that was true,
he never sought to gain public opin¬
ion by doing a single thing that
would call for a single word of de¬
fense at his hands or the hands of
his friends. He sought to earn pub¬
lic esteen. He did his public duties
well and his relationship to his fel¬
low men, it seemed to me, always
bordered on the saintly.
I do not believe that he was free
from all the frailties of human life.
I do not know; I do not believe that
he ever bore hatred in his heart to
any man or any human being. If he
did he had a wonderful gift of being
able to conceal it. I take it from
close association with him in the last
two year.s that he always tried to
fortify himself against even a tempta¬
tion to hate those whom the average
one of us would think he might be
justified in hating, because of their
unfair or unreasonable attitude
toward *hiin; but I never saw him
when he was not able and not willing
and not .anxious to .throw the mantle
of charity over the act of anyone
else and particularly try to relieve
himself of the possible danger of be¬
ing drawn in or drawn to the point
where he might do what, to him, per¬
haps would be an indefensible act—
bear malice towards his fellowman.
His- life is a beacon light in the
affairs of the City of Pittsburgh. It
has been an inspiration not only to
the young men who came under his
influence in his church, but it has
been an inspiration to the citizenship
of Pittsburgh, and it has been an
inspiration to those who believe in
democracy; it has been an inspiration
to those who believe in the last
analysis, the great public always
wanted to do the right thing, not
only by. himself, but by those who
served him. He served them fear¬
lessly; he took his case to them and
he accepted their judgment, - and he
never lost to the transaction, and be¬
cause of that experience in his life, I
say that he was a light house to
guide men and women of the future
in their relation to public affairs.
He was a sweet, gentle Christian
character, and I believe as firmly as
I believe it possible for any man
to achieve eternal happiness, that he
is now at rest in the bosom of his
God.
Mr. liobertNoii arose and said:
Mr. President and Friends: Eustace
S. Morrow was the type of public
servant you meet once in a lifetime.
Pittsburgh has indeed been fortunate
in the useful span of years he dedi¬
cated to its service. It seems idle
to attempt by mere words to add
to the luster of such a career^ a life
of duty well done that enriches the
pages of our City’s history. His most
enduring monument is the absolute
faith of all the people, high and low,
that “the grand old man” of Pitts¬
burgh’s public life was on guard. And
in our constant contact with him we
could better understand the wise and
prudent guidance that brought him
universal tribute in financial circles.
Hi.s stout opposition to our decisions
at times when his judgment conflicted
with ours only won our greater re¬
spect and admiration; We have seen
his unselfish devotion to the City
carried through almost to the end.
His passion for the City’.s security
burned as deeply despite his growing
feebleness of body.
He was an inspiration to us all.
And beyond the high courage and
zeal that brought and held for our
City an enviable financial position, be¬
yond the nobility of his character,
there was a human side, a lovable
side, we knew that makes our sense
of personal loss more keen. We fee)
a glow of pride that we have been
privileged to serve with him.
Dr. S. S. Woodburn was called upon,
arose and said:
I thank you for this opportunity,
Mr. President, to say a few words,
if it is only to utter a loud amen
to the beautifur things that have been
said of Eustace S. Morrow.
Mr. Morrow has endeared himself
to all the people of Pittsburgh. Per¬
sonally I never met a man who ap-
pealed to me as much as he did. 1
iilways wanted to fondle and handle *
him. i
I just want to call your attention !
to the fact that Controller Morrow,
althougrh he spent a lifetime In the
service of the public, is the only man |
to my certain knowledge who has not j
been given the damning title of poli¬
tician.
Eustace S. Morrow is one of those
whom I have loved and lost.
Mr. A. P. Moore was called upon,
arose and said:
Mr. President, I merely came here
to pay my tribute and respect to the
greatest official that Pittsburgh ever
had and probably ever will have.
Thirty-five years ago as a reporter, I
first met Controller Morrow. He was
the father of every newspaper man
who ever walked into City Hall. He
had a different conception of public
office than any other man that I ever
knew. He had all the virtues of the
.strong and none of the vice of the ;
weak. He was a man who walked
with God. I never knew so thor¬
oughly a religious man in all my I
life. He lived the life that any man
should be pleased to live. If all
men could live the life that Con¬
troller Morrow lived what a wonder- i
ful world we would have. I was a
reporter was raised in that environ¬
ment. I only wish that I could have
lived and could live the life of that .
great man. '
The Chnir said: '
Eustace St. pierre Morrow was born
August 10, 1839, and died December *
23, 1921, aged 82 years.
He was born on Fifth avenue on
the site formerly occupied by the
Hotel Newell in the shadow of the
old City Hall.
He was the son of Robert Morrow,
a lawyer, business man and politician.
He succeeded his father as Clerk of
Select Council of Pittsburgh in 1862.
In the latter sixties he was elected
Alderman and Justice of the Peace of
the old Sixth ward, which brought
him the title of “Squire''—a title he
liked best of all.
When the Department of City
Clerk's Office was created he was
elected City Clerk, and in the year
1881 was elected City Controller and
re-elected in 1884, 1887 and 1890. In
1893, at the expiration of his term, he
refused re-election and gave way to
the retiring Mayor, Henry I. Giourley,
and served as his Deputy, where he
continued to serve with Controllers
Joseph Lewis and John B. Larkin.
At the death of Larkin he was nomi¬
nated and elected by all parties, Jan¬
uary 26, 1908, which was an unani¬
mous expression of the confidence and
esteem in which he was held by the
people of Pittsburgh.
Here he continued to serve until
his death, which completed a service
in public office of more years than
any other citizen of our city—59
years of faithful, honorable service,
for which his name became a house¬
hold word.
He lived the seven ages of man
and was supreme in death. We might
say of him, like Antony of Brutus,
“He was the noblest Roman of them
all."
His life was gentle and the ele¬
ments so mixed in him that nature
might stand up and say to all the
world, THIS WAS A MAN.

With reference to Bill No. 58,
beg to advise that a clause in our
letter under date of December 12,
1921 to the President and Members of
Council accompanying Resolution for
transfer of $3,000.00 from the unin¬
cumbered balance remaining in the
“Special North Side Market Rental
Fund”, reads as follows:
“The contract for the installation
of electric wiring in the North Side
Market will be completed about the
first of the year and an Ordinance
authorizing the award or awards
of a contract or contracts for the
furnishing and installation of elec¬
tric light fixtures therefor, will be
presented for your consideration
today at an estimated cost of $4,-
900.00.“
The letter accompanying the Ordi¬
nance authorizing the advertising and
awarding contract for electric light
fixtures contains the following clause:
“In order to complete the new
lighting system at the North Side
Market, it is necessary to award
a contract for furnishing and in¬
stalling fixtures, which necessitates
the attached Ordinance.”
For your further information a con¬
tract was entered into by the City
with the Sargent Electric Company on
October 27, 1921 for the installation
of a complete conduit and wiring
system for electric lights and fan
outlets for this Market. The total
number of light outlets—641 and the
fan outlets—316.
This work is now practically com¬
plete and it is highly advisablle that

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Mr. Garland presented
No. 115. Report of the Com¬
mittee on Finance for January 17,
1922, transmitting an ordinance to
Council.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also, with an affirmative recom¬
mendation
Bill No. 90. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance providing for
the authentication of coupons on
certain bonds of the City of Pitts¬
burgh.”
Which was read.
Mr. Garland moved
A suspension of Rule VIII,
providing that all resolutions and or¬
dinances, when returned from com¬
mittee, shall be printed and mailed
to the members of Council at least
48 hours previous to a meeting of
Council at which the same are to be
considered.
* Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Garland moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second ar^d third readings
and final passage of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a second time.
Mr. John H. Henderson, City Con¬
troller, being sent f^or, appeared and
said:
Mr. President, the Union Trust
Company will not accept these bonds
unless they get a certificate of legal¬
ity from Hawkins, Delafleld and Long¬
fellow, and this law firm will not
issue this certificate unless the cou¬
pons which now bear the signature
of the late City Controller, E. S. Mor¬
row, are reprinted, or this ordinance
which authenticates the signature of
the late Controller.
I might explain, Mr. President, that
when the bond was printed the blank
for the City Controller’s signature
was left there, to be signed by the
Controller holding office at the time
it is issued. 'This was not the case
of the coupons. The coupons were
printed with the facsimile signature
of Mr. Morrow, and the Union Trust
Company, who purchased the bonds,
desire this action to be taken by the
City.
The ordinance now before you was
prepared by our bond attorneys,
Messrs, Hawkins, Delafteld and Long¬
fellow, and is presumed to be proper.
By the passage of this ordinance
the City will save $750.00, which is
the estimated cost for printing new
coupons.
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the
bill pass finally?”
The ayes and noes were taken
agreeably to law, and were:
Ayes—Messrs
Borland
Garland
Herron
Ayes—6.

troller to employ certified public ac¬

The City Council,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Gentlemen:
In reply to your letter of January
18, in reference to Bill No. 89, Resolu¬
tion for a warrant In favor of the
American Reduction Company for
$140,000.00 and W. & H. Walker, Inc,
Allegheny Garbage Company- depart¬
ment for $45,000.00, partial- payment
for the removal and disposal of gar¬
bage and rubbish for the year ending
j December 31, 1921, would state that
the resolution originated in the Con¬
troller’s olYice. The total deficit for
the year is $288,502.24. The amount
mentioned in the resolution is the ap¬
proximate difference between the total
deficit and what the contractors made
and owe the City, over $1.50 per ton
profit, on the total tonnage for the
year 1921.
Very truly yours,
C. J. VAUX, ,
Director.
Which was read.
Also :;.v
No. 150. -
City of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
January 23, 1922.
Mr. E. J. Martin,
City Clerk.
Dear Sir:
^ Complying with your request of
j January 18, I have the following re¬
port to make with reference to Bill
No. 89.
Calculation of the tonnage of gar¬
bage and rubbish collected by the
American Reduction Company to De¬
cember 31, 1921, totaling 133,750 tons,
results in a balance due the con¬
tractor of $209,491.10, at the maximum
, contract prices; a preliminary survey
! of their cost figures indicates a re-
l duction from the above figures, on a
basis of $1.50 a ton profit, of about
j $65,000.00, or a net amount due of a
J little over $144,000.00.
i In the case of W. & H. Walker,
! Inc., a calculation of the total ton¬
nage of 44,000 results in a balance
due them of $79,011.14 at the maxi¬
mum contract prices; no figures have
been obtained as to their costs, but I
j have calculated the maximum reduc¬
tion due the City as 75 cents a ton,
as against 50 cents a ton on the
I other contract, or $33,000.00, which
would leave a net amount due them
of a little over $46,000.00.
1 would recommend the passage of
the resolution authorizing the pay¬
ment of $140,000.00 to the American
i Reduction Company, and $40,000.00 to
W. & H. Walker Company, Inc.
Very truly yours,
JOHN H. HENDERSON,
City Controller.

j pensation thereof,' which became a
j law December 31, 1921."
Which was read.
Mr. Garland moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second and third readings
and final passage of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a second time,
Mr. Garland arose and said.
Mr. President:
In my opinion, this will mean an
increase in our budget of approxi¬
mately $23,000. The present rate of
$160. per month was agreed to by a
vote of 8 to 1. The average monthly
compensation paid Engineers for like
service in the office buildings, ware¬
houses, industrial and mercantile
establishments of the City, is less
than $160. and the Committee, after
full consideration, fixed the rate ad¬
visedly.
I do not think it proper for the City
of Pittsburgh to waste the taxpayers’
money by entering into competition
with our business interests who em¬
ploy in vast greater numbers skilled
and highly efficient Engineers,- per¬
forming similar service to that re¬
quired by the City. This amendment
if carried, will mean that the City
will be paying approximately 40%
higher wage than is paid well quali¬
fied and efficient Engineers employed
all over the City. And certainly It
cannot be maintained that those em-
82
ployed in private capacity are less
efficient than those working* for the
City.
I might also state that we have be¬
fore us the legal question as to
whether Council can make a proper
budget without stating a specific com¬
pensation. The fixing by the City of
"current union wages’* or “not to ex¬
ceed current union wages,” appears
to be Illegal. This is the opinion of
the Law Department as already ex¬
pressed to the Controller. |
I quote from City Solicitor Prich¬
ard’s opinion as follows:
"Under the above Actos of Assem¬
bly it is plain that this duty of
fixing the salaries of employees who I
are not elected is expressly de- i
volved upon Council, and for the j
Council to delegate this power to !
a body unauthorized by; law is
Illegal. In addition, the one Act i
of Assembly specifies that all City
employees shall receive a fixed sal- ;
ary, and under the definitions of the
word "fixed,” herein given to make
this salary whatever the current
union wage may be, would, in my
opinion, not be a fixed salary.”
In our City of Pittsburgh generally
all classes of labor are recognized on
the broad principle of the open shop,
yet the Council takes upon itself to
specify for the municipal payroll
"current union wages,” thus entering
into active competition with its own
citizens at an added expense to the
already overburdened taxpayers of at
least $100,000 annually.
The impression seems to prevail—
ft has been thrown at me a hundred
times—that the City must perforce
recogn.ze Union Labor, and the term
"current un’on wages” is a kind of
shibboleth In City Hall. There is
nothing to It. The law a^'d the Con¬
stitution would not uphold any such
claim.
I am strongly of the opinion that
any citizen and taxpayer could suc¬
cessfully niadamus the City on a
question of this kind and prevent the
recognition by Council of special labor
schedules dictated by outside organi¬
zations. Freed from such dictation,
Council could then exercise its best
judgment, particularly taking Into
consideration rates paid for similar
service throughout the City.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I want to clear up j
any misapprehension that might be
In the mind of any member of Council
regarding the action of the last
Council when the salary ordinance
was passed.
It Is true there were conversations
regarding stationary engineers, but at
the same time it is also true that the
Council, with the Mayor-elect, agreed
on a policy of continuing to recognize
current union wages. By this recog¬
nition of current union wages we
meant at that time just what In my
opinion is meant today when we vote
for this ordinance, namely, that where
there are legitimate unions in the
City of Pittsburgh, employing hun¬
dreds of men with a scale of wages
recognized by dozens of employers, it
will be the policy of the City of
Pittsburgh to adopt that same scale
of wages on similar work being done
at the expense of the city.
In this particular instance It seems
that we have adopted that policy for
every legitimate union with the ex¬
ception of the one before us now,
namely, the engineers.
The salary ordinance for 1922 car¬
ries a recognition of all the legiti¬
mate unions with the exception of the
engineers. Manifestly we cannot have
one policy for nine unions and another
policy for the tenth union; consequent¬
ly, we are only doing the fair thing
in correcting any mistake which may
have been made in making up the
budget and salary ordinance for 1022
with Mayor-Elect Magee.
I am very glad of this opportunity
to make this explanation because 1
wou d not have any member of Coun¬
cil feel that I have been guilty of
bad faith. I have never yet to my
knowledge broken my word or any
agreement w.th any person and I
would not want to do it now,
I am sure that there has been some
misu;.dersta:iding regarding our ac¬
tion in making up the 1922 salary
ordinance, and I am glad to have this
opportunity of clearing up this point.
I am glad, also, that the Business
Agent of the Engineers Union is
present at this session of Council. I
want to say in his presence that the
passage of this ordinance means what
it says, that the engineers of the
City of Pittsburgh will be paid at a
rate not to exceed current union
wages. If they have agreements w.th
different employers or different build¬
ings at various scales of wages, mani¬
festly It would be unfair to impose on
the City of Pittsburgh the highest of
those various wage scales, but if they
have a legitimate wage rate, which
i8f irecogrnized by a majority of the
different buildings, employing engi¬
neers, or the different firms and cor¬
porations employing engineers, mani¬
festly it is only fair that the City
of Pittsburgh should pay that recog¬
nized current union wage.
I would not want any misunder¬
standing as to my vote on this matter
and that is the reason wh ch prompts
me to favor this ordinance, I will
repeat it for fear of any misun^’er-
standing. It is my idea that as long
as^the City Council and the City of
Pittsburgh has adopted the policy of
recognizing current union wage scales,
which are satisfactory to employers
other than the city, then I think we
ought to be fair with the engineers
union and give them the sams treat¬
ment the other unions are receiving,
and it is proper and just for the C.ty
of Pittsburgh to pay engineers cur¬
rent union wages as long as we con¬
tinue in force the policy of recogniz¬
ing any current union wages.
And. the bill, as read a second time,
wan agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
rAnd the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.

Pittsburgh, January 8, 1922.
To the. City Council of the
City of Pitt.sburgh.
I return, without executive approval
Bill No. 158, appropriating $600.00
from the Contingent Fund for the
services of certain per.sons and the
rent for the use of certain buildings
for the celebration of the Emancipa¬
tion Proclamation on January 1, 1922.
The Council, during the past year,
made an appropriation of $1,000,00
towards the payment of the’ expenses
of the celebration of this historical
event. The society to whom that ap-
])ropriat}on was made spent that sum
and exceeded its appropriation by
further ex]>endilures to the extent
of $600.00. I disagree with your hon¬
orable body a.s to the expediency of
assuming on behalf of the City the
responsibility for the deficit. Not only
is it w'rong to encourage irrespon¬
sible expenditures, which would be
the effect of the passage of this reso¬
lution, but. furthermore, the present
is no time to be wasteful of the City’s
resources. The amount in this par¬
ticular case is not large, nevertheless
a succe.ssion of like appropriations of
similar amounts, if persi.sted in over
the course of the year, will be a con-
88
slderuble sum. I carinot reconcile this
appropriation with our action upon
the salaries and wages of City em¬
ployes. They are inconsistent, to say
the least.
Yours truly,
W. A. MAGEE,
Mayor.
Which was read, received and filed.

thorizing the issuing of warrants in

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Mr. Herron (for Mr. Garlniid) pn-
sented
Xo. 231. Hei)ort of the Com¬
mittee on Finance for February 7,
1922, transmitting sundry ordinancsj
and resolutions to Council.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also, with an affirmative recom¬
mendation
Bill Xo. 19 1. An Ordinance
entitled. "An Ordinance fixing the
number of officers and employes of
the Bureau of I0)i gin coring. Depart-
inont of Public Works, City of Pitls-
iiurgh. and the rate of compensation
thereof."
AVhich was read.
Mr. Herron moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second and third readings
and final passage of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a second time.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President. I asked for special
con.sideration on this bill because of
the fact that when it was in com¬
mittee and the Clerk was asked to
read it. His Honor, the Mayor, wTio
was pi’esent, mentioned the fact that
he did not think it was worth while
reading bet'ause we would not under-
.stand it after it was read.
Since then 1 have taken some time
to consider it. This ordinance pro¬
vides compensation, for the employes
of the Bureau of Engineering. I un¬
derstand in the budget sessions this
particular bureau had its appropria¬
tion for salaries set up in bulk form;
there were no salaries set up at that
time for each individual i)osition. You
will find in thi.s particular ordinance
s.alaries for 47 engineers at a total
<*f $133,900.00. In addition to that
we have just voted or arc about to
vote on other ordinances for en¬
gineers for a total amount of $68,-
UOO.OO, making a grand total of
$ 201 , 000 , 00 .
W(' should have an ordinance cov¬
ering the reorganization of this en¬
tire bureau before we vote on Bill
Xo. 194. 1 am willing to admit that
the Mayor was right when he said
w'e could not understand that hill if
tt was read, and 1 for one will not
vote <»n it until I thoroughly under¬
stand it.
Mr. Kiig.liNlt arose and said:
Mr. [‘resident, in committee I op¬
posed this bill, thinking we could get
a majority to in.sist on a reorganiza¬
tion of the Bureau of Engineering,
but since the majority of the Council
favored the bill in committee, there
is no reason why I should be an ob¬
structionist in Co’mcil. The purpose
of this hill is to reduce the salary
of the employes in the Bureau of En¬
gineering commensurate with the cuts
made in other departments and
bureaus of the City. Council set up
a lump sum appropriation for salaries
f<jr the Bureau of Engineering, in
the hoi^e that within one month the
Director of the Department of Public
Works would not only “come in with
1
reduced salaries commensurate with
the other bureaus, but also with a
new set-up or reorg-anization. We
thought one month's time would be
sufficient to do this, but it seems
that the Mayor has not been able to
affect this reorganization from his
own Director of Public Works. When
the bill was up in committee I asked
the question several times as to when
the Director w^ould submit to Council
his scheme for reorganizing the
bureau, but I W’as unable to get any
definite date from the Director as to
w’hen this would be ready for submis¬
sion to Council.
Consequently, it is only in line with
sound public policy that we should
assist the Mayor and the Director in
an endeavor to put the wages of the
employes in the Bureau of Engineer¬
ing on the same basis as those of
other bureaus. The employes of this
bureau have been paid at the 1921
rate for the month of January, and
if this ordinance is not passed the
1921 salary rate will continue in
force until it becomes a law. Conse¬
quently, it is clearly our duty to force
a reorganization to make a saving
in this bureau, and pending the time
when the I'eorganization comes to
Council, X think it is wise to pass \
this bill.
Mr. Mc.\r<lle arose and said:
Mr. President, I think it might be
w'ell to point out perhaps that Mr.
Malone is laboring under a misappre- ;
hension as to the effect of these bills !
to which he has made reference. The
total possible cost for engineering ex¬
penses during the year in dollars and
cents is that which is set up and
made possible by Bill No. 194, which
we are noW' discussing; and, of course,
if the amount set up in the appropria¬
tions in the other bills, to which he
has referred, is used to pay engineer¬
ing expenses, including salaries pro¬
vided in Bill 104, it will, of course,
not be possible to charge that sum
or those sums or their equivalent
against the appropriation bill. In
other words we must not mix the
effect of passing the salary bill with
parsing the ai)propriation bill. One j
affects the number and compensation ’
of the employes and the other affects
the place against w'hich that payment
is charged.
The first sum of $133,000.00 would
represent the total that would be
possible to pay out during the year
under this bill, assuming that is cor¬
rect, so that is not the weakness in
the bill.
But there are a couple of points in
it, it seems to me, that we will need
in line with A^hat wms represented
to us ftt the time the bill was pre¬
sented by the Director and the Mayor.
One of the things then fell under my
notice; the other did .not. We were
told that there was no change except
in the change of rates of pay, but
on closer analysis of the bill we do
find that the bill makes pro\ision for
a new rate of pay to a certain num¬
ber of laborers in the Bureuu of En¬
gineering which is differen! in pro¬
portion to the salary paid k'borers in
other bureaus during the year, and
even has the effect of making two
different rates of pay in that division
for tliis year, limiting that number
to eight as noted in the la.st line of
the Division of Bridges, Repairs. And
I he other oJie is in the fact that in
the matter of public W'orks inspectors,
it provides for 4 3—I think I am in
error, 41—but at any rate it disturbs
the condition that existed iast year,
and that escaped my notice: and I am
calling your attention to it and if it
is not considered now it might be
considered at some other time when
the reorganization question cornea up.
It puts all i)ubUc works inspectors
on a per annum basis, w'hereas a con¬
siderable number of them, by action
of Council, were put on a ])er diem
basis, and that, of course, makes pos¬
sible, although not necessarily, a con¬
siderable disturbance in the appro¬
priation that has been ])rovided for
these particular activities.
I am going to support the passage
of this bill because I do not think
the things to which I might raise
oi)jections are a.s important as the
pas.sage of the bill in order to put
the whole bureau on a revised sched¬
ule of w-^ages and salaries and In
keeping with the rest of the em¬
ployes of the City.
It win have twm particular points
at the time of reorganization if we
take different view's as expressed by
thi.s ordinance, and it W'ill impress
upon us the necessity of a little more
careful scrutiny of this bill instead
of taking the whole thing on faith,
no matter who presents it.
I called attention to one of these
items particularly for this reason—if
an examination is made of the pay¬
roll now' you will find that in the Di¬
vision of Bridges in the Bureau of
Engineering a payroll has been util¬
ized during' the month of January
that if carried through for the bal¬
ance of the year w'ould result in an
ex])enditure at the sam rate of pay
90
in excess of ]00 per cent over the
amount asked for in the budget esti¬
mates. . Now, I want the members
of Council to pay attention to that
for this reason, because it comes up
in our discussion of this appropriation
and salary bills as to the amount of
control that we have over those
things. There would be a 100 per
cent increase in this bureau if they
were to carry through the payroll
(luring the year as they did in January
and one of two things would result—
a deficit eciuivalent to the total
amount asked for in the estimates, or
an appropriatitm by Council during
the year to pay the salaries.
It is only a repetition of what has
been going* on in that particular ac¬
tivity for some time and Council can¬
not know anything about that ac¬
tivity's cost because there is a lee¬
way allowed for the employment of
labor which makes it entirely dis¬
cretionary for the head of the depart¬
ment or soiniiody 4n that department,
and the fault may not he in the
division, hut the labor is utilized and
carried on that payroll; and if we
went to look after the cost of bridge
repairs we could not reach any con¬
clusion from the books of the Con¬
troller’s office exept that item cost
us so much as rei)resented by the
payroll.
I am calling your attention to tliat
because we cannot carry out this talk
of economy and permit a continuance
of this condition. Tile department
must get down to harmonize tlie ap-
1 ropriation with the salary hills, and
if not. make all their appropriations
In lump sum, and allow* them to do
v.'bat they ph’ase.
The Chair:
1 agree ,with Mr. McArdle in his
analysis of the ordinance and will
vote for it. This condition has ex¬
isted for one month and if w’e do not
act on this ordinance today a great
deal more money than appropriated
will be paid out in these positions,
and the salaries are not consistent
with the salaries set up for the other
employes of the City.
And the bill, as road a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.

Gentlemen:
Investigation of the work done un¬
der your contract with the City for
“Grading Hillside and Building Re¬
taining Wall on Bigelow Boulevard”
discloses the fact that certain work
was not executed in accordance with
the plans and specifications applying
to the same.
You are therefore directed to pro¬
ceed at once with the reconstruction
of Wall Section No. 41 and Pilaster
No. 6 at the western end of this sec¬
tion.
Evidences of damage to other wall
sections will also be investigated.
The City will charge your company
with the cost of the investigations to
date.
Kindly advise at once relative to
.starting this work.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS. A. FINLEY,
Director.
BIGELOW BOULEVARD WALT.^RE-
PORT OF INVESTIGATION
OP FAILURE.
February 2, 1922.
I have to submit herewith a report
as to the condition and causes of
failure of a portion of the retaining
wall recently constructed under a
contract with the M. O’Herron Com¬
pany on the Bigelow boulevard—this
contract including the construction of
retaining wall from Elm .street to the
South Seventeeth Street Incline, a dis¬
tance of approximately 2,400 lineal
feet.
ThVee sections of this wall, each 30
feet in length have been affected, one
of which known as Section 41, has
been seriously damaged by a crack
extending- through the wall. Two
sections further east, Xos. 39 and 37
respectively, show a fine crack ex¬
tending diagonally down the face of
the wall, but so far as the investiga¬
tion has been carried do not reveal
anything except a thin crack in back
of the wall with no evidence of
movement. The cracks in these two
latter sections partake more of a
hair line crack.
The construction of the retaining
wall and the grading operations in¬
cident thereto wajs commenced July
26, 1920, the wall work under this
contract was completed in June, 1921,
and the entire contract completed
August 15, 1921.
That the condition of wall section
41 was not satisfactory was first
noticed about December 25, 1921, when
water in quantity was observed com¬
ing through the front of the wall a
few feet above the curb level. Ar¬
rangements were immediately made
to have the w’all section drilled in
order to relieve the wall from a sus¬
pected loading of water and saturated
fill. These holes w'ere drilled during
the w*eek commencing December 26,
1921, and upon drilling, a considerable
flow of water came through the drill
holes which gradually diminished in
quantity. It was not thought at first
that the wall section w’as cracked,
but about the same time the holes
were drilled a W'ell defined fine crack
did appear in the face of the wall,
running diagonally, all as show'n on
Drawing No. 2.
It was then realized that the con¬
dition of the wall demanded immedi¬
ate investigation, and, accordingly,
work was begun excavating back of
the wall, and meanwhile the drilling
of additional weep holes was contin¬
ued. Later, the fine diagonal cracks
in Sections 37 and 39 were discovered.
The design of this wall is showm
on the contract ])lans A-2791 to
A-2797. inclusive, the typical sections
being indicated on sheet No. 3 of 7
sheets, accession No. A-2793. It was
to consist of a w’all of gravity sec¬
tion with a battered back, extending
down to rock, then carried down ver¬
tically for some distance, and under¬
neath the same and extending above
the curb level, a rock facing wall
was to be built which is shown on
the typical section as three feet in
thickness. The hillside was to be
graded behind the wall and the typ¬
ical sections of same were shown oh
the contract plans.’ It was found im¬
possible to adhere to the contract-
plans with regard to bringing the
slope lines to the lines shown in the
typical sections on the contract plans*,
and as the excavation of the hillside
was carried along, the new slopes?
were plotted and approved as to line-
from time to time.
The undersigned, when he took the
position of Chief Engineer, Bureau of
Engineering, took up the question of
excavation and grading for the wall
and believed the sloping-to be as good
as could be done under the conditions
existing. Particularly was this the'
case at the lower end of the walF
where further cutting into the hill¬
side tended to undercut the soft mate¬
rial and private property at the top
of the hill. The rock was found in
a shattered. condition and the matter
W’as thoroughly discussed by former
Director Brown, Mr. Reed and the un-,
dersigned. It was decided to request
the contractor to do a certain amount
of hand trimming and concreting in
the rock face so as to give a perma¬
nent hillside and so prevent large;
pieces of rock from disintegrating
and breaking off. The contractor re-,
fused to do this work under contract,
prices and the Director reached a de-.
cision that he could accomplish the<
work more economically, if it had tor
be done, under a force account, by^
making a separate contract. iX
The M. O’Herron Company proceeded'
to complete the wall, which is built
substantially in accordance with the
contract plans excepting where modi¬
fied owing to existing condition, and
orders w’ere given that the broken
stone drain provided in the back of
the wall should be placed by the M.
O’Herron Company. The M. O’Herrop,
Company place some fill behind the.
broken stone drain through the
erly half of the wall, but did
place any at the seccion in quesUglp.!
The expectation was that under sep¬
arate contract the necessary exca¬
vating, grading and placing of con¬
crete would be done, and the surplus,
placed in fill behind the wall.
A.s to the design of the wall, it will
be noted from examination of the
contract plans that same is of usual
design, excepting in that weep holes,
are not provided. The system of
drainage may he described as
broken stone draiti extending up tlte
back of the wall, same b^ing un^p.r-
laid with a six-inch terra cotta '|)ipe
drain laid longitudinally in bac|v. of..
the wall to act as a collector for the
secpag'c, this drain line being: laid
with open joints.
The broken stone drain behind the
wall Is provided with connections
leading: through the wall to a sewer
in front, so that these connections
together with the tile and broken
stone drain behind the wall form what |
might be called a system of con¬
cealed w’eep holes. Twenty-flve of
such cross connections were provided
in a total distance of 2,400 feet, or
an average distance of 100 feet apart.
Reliance for proper drainage is
placed upon the functioning of the
broken stone drain, the terra cotta
pipe and the cross connections
through the wall.
The wall was constructed under the
supervision of the Division of Streets.
On the upper portion Mr. William
P. Schwerin was Assistant Engineer
in charge and he was later relieved
and Mr. J, A. Jackson, Assistant En¬
gineer, was placed in charge, and
was in charge during the sections
of the wall in question, and of the
placing of the tile and broken stone
drain behind the wall. Inspector
Charlmes M. Rothermel was Inspector,
with special duties and with instruc¬
tions with regard to placing of the
drainage system behind the wall. Sev¬
eral inspectors were assigned from
time to time, as required, to inspect
the mixing and placing of concrete.
The sections in question were con¬
creted as follows:
No.
38—April
13,
1921,
No.
40—April
17,
1921.
No.
37—April
18,
1921.
No.
39—April
21,
1921.
No.
41—April
25,
1921.
It will be noted that the three sec¬
tions affected were alternate sections
concreted successively, while the
other intermediate sections, which
were concreted previously, have not
been affected. This possibly may have
a bearing on the weakness of the
sections If proper materials were not
used or other conditions obtained at
the time these three sections were
poured.
Mr. Reed was instructed by the
undersigned and reported back that
he had transmitted said instructions
to the Assistant Engineer in charge
and the Inspector to particularly
watch the drainage system behind the
wall. Director Brown also took an
active Interest in this feature of the
work, and at his request, the in¬
structions were repeated, and Mr.
Reed again reported back t iiaf he
had cautioned his assistants on the
work, so that the importance of hav¬
ing the drainage system pi; iced in
conformity with the contr.ict and
specifications must have been realized
by those in immediate charj.: .
In conformity with the r licy of
the department, and after authoriza¬
tion had been received from Council,
a contract was awarded to Anderson
Brothers Company to trim t!io hill¬
side, place concrete under r-:' k pro¬
jections, etc. This contract was
started October 23, 1921, and is still
in progress. As the date the Ander¬
son Brothers Company .start- I their
w'ork, the broken stone drai? placed
by the M. O’Herron Company was
evident along the greater part of the
wall, but there were one <)r two
places in the vicinity of the failure
where the broken stone drain did not
show’ up above the top of material
which filled the space betw'een the
back of the wall and the rock face.
This is report by Special Construction
Engineer Snyder. He reports that he
found the broken stone drain from
four to eight feet below' the top of
the wall at the easterly end of the
wall. Instructions were issued to the
contractor (Anderson Brothers Com¬
pany) to carry up the broken stone
drain as the placing of fill behind
the wall proceeded. Straw was also
ordered to be placed betw’een the
broken stone drain and the new fill¬
ing, which shows in our recent exca¬
vations behind the wall. Straw was
also placed by the M. O’Herron Com¬
pany in the same manner, but same
is not evident and it is very probable
that in any event would have dis¬
integrated by this time.
Mr. Snyder is quite definite about
the conditions existing at tlie time
Anderson Brothers Company started
the work. At that time the hillside
w’ash had partially filled the .space
between the broken stone drain and
the rock face of the hillside to vari¬
able depths and the broken stone
drain placed by the M. O’Herron Com¬
pany was in evidence, w’ith the ex¬
ception of one or two places about
w'hich Mr. Snyder is not definite as to
location. In regard to the conditions
existing at this time, the following
is quoted from Mr. Snyder’s state¬
ment:
“Ander.son Brothers started on the
hillside .slope October 23. The
broken stone drain was in good
shape with possibly one or two ex¬
ceptions where it had fallen dow'n,
which broken stone drain was re-
built ahead of the backfilling made
by Anderson Brothers. At the east¬
erly end of the wall, probably four
feet in height of broken stone v.'as
.shown al)ove the filling. From this
point we.st to the main pilaster
varied from four to eight feet in
height. From the east end of the
wall to a point about 300 feet west,
the material back of the drain ap¬
peared to be materia.! that had been
placed by previous operations. From
that point to the west end of the
wall the filling varied in height
from the top of the wall. This
material all appears to have fallen
or slid from the hillside.
"From the central pila.ster to the
west end of the wali the hillside in
back of the wall is generally of a
rock nature with clay and dirt
along the top. The material, as I
found same when Arider&on Brothers
started, between the back of the
.stone and the face of the hill, was
generally from six to eight feet
below the top of the wail, and wa.s
evidently material that had fallen
from the hillside, such as loose
stone, clay and debris. For practi¬
cally the whole length of the wall
from the central pilaster westward-
ly, the broken stone drain appeared
above the material in back of the
wall.
“The five catch basins in back of
the wall were filled up to various
heights. These catch basins were
cleaned out and the drains opened
np to the main sewer and were
futu’tioning before catch basins
were extended to about six feet in
height below the top of the wall.
Broken stone was placed around
said catch basins and weep holes
left in catch basins to receive drain¬
age.”
From the above it appear.s evident
that the broken stone drain was actu¬
ally placed by the M. O’Herron Com¬
pany. Further, Assistant Engineer
Jackson took measurements at the
completion of the work (duly recorded
in his field book) showing the height
of the broken stone behind each sec¬
tion of the w'all, and, further, photo¬
graphs were taken.
From the facts and information re¬
ceived, I am positive that material
was placed in what wa.s intended to
be a broken stone drain. This state¬
ment. however, having no bearing a.s
to the kind of material so placed,
which is later reported on.
Orders were issued that as the ma¬
terial was excavated under the An¬
derson contract that the same was to
be placed in fill behind the wall,
which was done, and orders were
furthermore issued, that where re-
(luired, a temporary barricade should
be built behind the wall to prevent
rock from falling on to the boulevard
and to endangering traffic. The type
of barricade so erected is shown on
drawing No, 3, attached. Such a bar¬
ricade was erected behind the sec¬
tions in question, and also in back
of other sections from the central
pilaster westward! y.
As the material was brought down
the hillside in some places the same
was piled up back of the barricade
and above the top of the wall for a
maximum height of 40 inches above
the top of the wall. This material
wa.s constantly being brought down
and removed, so that conditions with
respeqt to this .surcharge changed
continuously and it is entirely prob¬
ably that surcharge of 40 inches did
exist behind Section 41 for from two
to four days.
The operations to relieve the wall
and to determine the cause of the
trouble consisted, first, of excavating
a shaft approximately eight feet in
length near the center of Section 41,
upon the completion of which all of
the filling behind the wall was re¬
moved. The following information has
been secured to date:
NATURE OF THE CRACK.
The location of the crack, front and
back, is shown on attached drawing
No. 2. For a certain distance below
the top of the wall, ranging from
10 feet to three or four feet, the
broken stone, backed w'ith straw,
placed by the Anderson Company, was
found. Below this point there existed
to a vary great extent, a condition
where, instead of finding a broken
stone drain of hard durably stone, a
layer of red shale, or perhaps more
properly hard clay, was found, where
the drain should have been. Only by
tracing out this red shale or clay
could any resemblance of a drain be
discovered, but it i.s evident that this
material was placed for the purpose
of making a broken stone drain. That
good drain stone was not placed and
afterwards knocked out of position by
subsequent operations or falling
boulders, is clearly evidenced by the
fact that such stone was not found
in the bottom of the excavation,
where, if such had been the case,
there would have been a very large
pile of stone. The details as to exact
conditions as found are contained in |
the various reports and sketches
hereto appended.
It was found that the space imme¬
diately back of the wall, where the
broken stone drain should have been,
was very largely composed of the
red shale or hard clay entirely
clogged with earth. I consider that
this is absolute evidence of saturation.
Very small amounts of good hard
durable stone were found and I had
our Assistant Engineer and Inspector
save the total amount of material
that there was presumably in drain
and also in filling behind the wall
in the last six-foot depth of a section
of wall about six feet in length. I
am convinced, from observation and
the facts, that the dura;hle stone re¬
moved from behind the wall couUi
not possibly have made a continuous
sheeting of drain stone behind the
wall, and in fact is only a very
small or negligible portion of the
quantity required. My conclusion in
regard to the foregoing Is that the
contractor did not place broken stone
drain in conformity with the contract
.specification.s and instructions, and in¬
stead thereof placed a very poor qual¬
ity of red shale or hard clay, which
very rapidly disintegrated under the
abnormal seepage conditions obtain¬
ing throughout the months of October
and Novembei’. The result was that
the drain gradually clogged up and
an extreme condition of saturation
arose which filled all the drain with¬
out respect to its character and al¬
lowed the thin seepage carrying sedi¬
ment to enter into and clog the tile
drain, so that conditions gradually
grew worse and the saturation, arose
behind the wall to a very considerable
height.
Quoting from Inspector Edwin S,
Gordon’s statement of January 30,
1922, of conditions observed on Janu- ^
ary 25, 1922: “There is no indications
of broken stone drain at a depth of
14 feet, at a distance of 20 feet east
of shaft, excapt in isolated cases.
There is some red shale stone lying
against the batter of the wall. Sam¬
ples of shale are being laid aside for
reference, by order of Chief Engineer
Reppert, Shaft No. 2, at the back
of Section 41, at a depth of 13 feet,
no broken stone drain was found
except in scattered places. Red shale
stone was found against the batter
of the wall.”
Mr. Howard’s statements likewise
appended are to the same general I
effect, that generally the drain was
found to be composed of red shale.
Incidental to this condition 1 would
also report to you that Mr. Reed,
during the !)rocess of the construction
of this drain and after a personal
examination of the drain, orilered the
removal of drain in place Ijc’hind the
wall for an ajiproximate di: tance of
60 lineal feet on account ol the fact
that he discovered that soni<) of the
material was red shale. ihis was
not near Section 41, ljut v. as near
tlie easterly end of the wall.
CAUSE OP P^AILURE OF THE WALL.
Failures of concrete retaining walls
from cracking are generally due to
one or more of the follow’ing causes
or conditions:
1. Section too light to rejJst earth
load under normal conditions. This
condition does not obtain in ihe Bige¬
low boulevard wall as the overturning
moment with an earth loading extend¬
ing four feet above the top of the
wall would amount to 32,700 foot
pounds, 'W'hioh would be resisted by
a total resisting moment due to
weight of wall and ordinary tensile
resistance of 141,000 foot pounds. This
on the assumption that the fill behind
the wall is not saturated.
2. By saturation of the fill behind
the wall increasing the normal load¬
ing from an approximate maximum
of 28 pounds to 62^ pounds per foot
depth. The total overturning moment
that could have been caused by a
condition of saturation extending up
to the top of the wall and allowing
for a surcharge of four feet on top
of the wall unsaturated, would be
81,300 foot pounds, which may like¬
wise be compared with a total resist¬
ing moment of 141,000 foot pounds,
3. Additional loads. In the case
of this wall an additional load was
occasioned by the construction of a
wood barricade or screen built In
behind the wall. In connection with
this factor, the moment which might
have been caused by wind should be
considered. This is estimated at 18,100.
A further overturning moment of
25,100 foot pounds might have been
caused by the effect of cross planks
supporting the uprights of the barri¬
cade being w’edged between the back
of the wall and the rock hillside.
Combining hormal loading with four
foot or surcharge of 32,700 foot
pounds, and the moment which might
theoretically be possible accoifnt the"
barricade of 43,200 foot pounds, would
give 3. total overturning moment on
the wall under these combined fac-
100
built ahead of the backfilling- made
by Anderson Brothers. At the east¬
erly end of the wall, probably four
feet |n height of broken stone was
shown above the filling. From this
point we.st to the main pilaster
varied from four to eight feet in
height. From the east end of the
wall to a point about 300 feet w'est,
the material back of the drain ap¬
peared to be material that had been
placed by previous operations. From
that point to the west end' of the
wall the filling varied in height
from the top of the wall. This
material all appears to have fallen
or slid frpni the hillside.
"From the central j>ilaster to the
west end of the wail the hill.side in
back of the wall is generally of a
rock nature with clay and dirt
along the top. The material, as I
found same when Ander&on Brothers
started, between the back of the
stone and the face of the hill, w'as
generally from six to eight feet
below the top of the wall, and was
evidently material that had fallen
from the hillside, such as loose
stone, clay and debris. For practi¬
cally the whole length of the wall
from the central pilaster westward-
ly, the broken stone drain appeared
above the material in back of the
wall.
"The five catch basins in back of
the wall were filled up to various
heights. These catch ba.sins were
cleaned out and the drains opened
lip to the main sew'er and w'ere
fun(;tioning before catch basins
were extended to about six feet in
height below the top of the wall.
Broken stone vi'as placed around
.said catch basins and weep holes
left in catch basins to receive drain¬
age."
From the above it appears evident
that the broken stone drain was actu¬
ally placed by the M. O’Herron Com¬
pany. Further, Assistant Engineer
Jackson took measurements at the
completion of the work (duly recorded
In his field book) showing the height
of the broken stone behind each sec¬
tion of the w'all, and, further, photo¬
graphs were taken.
From the facts and inform.ation re¬
ceived, 1 am po.sitive that material
was placed in what was intended to
be a broken stone drain. This state¬
ment, however, having no bearing as

of barricade so erected is shown on

ricade was erected behind the sec¬
tions in question, and also in back
of other sections from the central
pilaster westward I y.
As the material w’as brought down
the hillside in some places the same
was piled up back of the barricade
and above the top of the wall for a
maximum height of 40 inches above
the top of the wall. This materia.1
wa.s constantly being brought down

wall for an approximate di.-tance of
(>() lineal feet on account of the fact
that he discovered that sojoc of the
material was red shale. 'his was
not near Section 41, but was near
the easterly end of the wall.
CAUSE OF FAILURE OF THjd WALL.
Failures of concrete retaining walls
from cracking are generally due to
one or more of the following causes
or conditions:
1. Section too light to re;.dst earth
load under normal conditions. This
condition does not obtain in the Bige¬
low boulevard wall as the overturning
moment with an earth loading extend¬
ing four feet above the tup of the
wall would amount to 32,700 foot
pounds, w’hlch would be resisted by
a total resisting moment due to
weight of wall and ordinary tensile
resistance of 141,000 foot pounds. This
on the assumption that the fill behintl
the wall is not saturated.
2. By saturation of the fill behind
the wall increasing the normal load¬
ing from an approximate maximum
of 28 pounds to 62% pounds per foot
depth. The total overturning moment
that could have been caused by a
condition of saturation extending up
to the top of the wall and allowing
for a surcharge of four feet on top
of the wall unsaturated, would be
81,300 foot pounds, w'hich may like¬
wise be compared with a total resist¬
ing moment of 141,000 foot pounds.
3. Additional loads. In the case
of this wall an additional load was
occasioned by the construction of a
wood barricade or screen built In
behind the wall. In connection with
this factor, the moment which might
have been caused by wind should be
considered. This is estimated at 18,100.
A further overturning moment of
25,100 foot pounds might have been
caused by the effect of cross planks
I supporting the uprights of the barri-
I cade being w'edged between the back
of the wall and the rock hillside.
Combining normal loading with four
foot or surcharge of 32,700 foot
pounds, and the moment which might
theoretically be possible account the
I barricade of 43,200 foot pounds, would
give a total overturning moment on
the wall under these combined fac-
100
tors of 76,900 foot pounds, for which
the wall should have a resistance of
111,000 foot pounds.
4, Defective construction due to
improper materials or improper mix¬
ing and placing of concrete. The
computations with regard to the ef¬
fect of different loads on the wall
under different conditions, have been
made by Assistant Chief Engineer
Stevenson. Division of Bridges, and
his report is attached hereto. The
general assumptions are: A normal
unit weight of hackfiil of 120 pounds
per cubic foot for saturated condi¬
tion; 100 pounds per cubic foot for
unsaturated; unit equivalent fluid
pressures 28 pounds i>er square foot
for normal fill and 62.4 pounds per
square foot for saturated fill. Tensile
resistant of concrete, 125 pounds per
square inch, this being a fair average
for ultimate strength of 1-3-6 con¬
crete.
Prom an analyses of the computa¬
tions which have been made and as¬
suming a combination of maximum
load conditions under each case, it is
evident that the wall must have
fi'lled under a unit tensile strength
of not exceeding 87 pounds per square
inch, and it is probable that as we
have taken outside figures for these
computations, the wall failed under
considerably less tensile conditions.
5. Conditions and character of con¬
crete. An examination of the crack
behind the wall was made immedi¬
ately after the excavation by Mr.
liced and myself, and it appeared to us
when lapping with a hammer or cold
chisel, that the concrete was of a
very inferior quality immediately
above and below tne crack, while
several feet above and below the
crack the concrete gave no super¬
ficial evidence of being inferior and
seemed to be sound under hammer
blows.
Samples of concrete have been cut
out of the back of the wall and one
sample from which two cubes for
compression test have been sent to
the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory.
Another sample is reserved as an ex¬
hibit and a further sample is to be
used to determine the composition of
the concrete and evidence of mixture
of organic matter in same, if possible
to obtain.
I havi made a general examination
of the concrete sample.s and likewise
have had Mr. Heed and Mr. Stevenson
do the same, and I am convinced that
there is very poor adherence between
the gravel and the mortar, as par¬
ticles of the concrete break off easily
with hand pressure. My personal and
professional opinion is that this con¬
crete is defective, either due to im¬
proper sand or dirty gravel.
My conclusion in regard to the
proposition are as follows:
1. That the broken stone drain to
be built behind the wall in accordance
with the contract was not constructed
in accordance with the provisions of
.said contract.
2. That a condition of saturation
arose, clue to inferior construction of
said broken stone drain, and that
saturation resulted in a much heavier
pressure against the wall than would
otherwise hy.ve been the case.
3. That the concrete is defective.
This latter, at the present time, is
merely a professional opinion based
on my observations and that of others,
and tests as above noted are now
under way and the results will be
available in approximately a week.
I premise my conclusion on this point
on examination of samples removed
from the wall, and, further, on the
fact that I believe the wall should
have stood up under all loads that
were or might possibly under the
most extreme conditions have been
imposed upon same, provided the con¬
crete had been of good quality, and
further, that the wall probably failed
under a unit tensile load of 87 pounds,
or possibly much less, as that loading
would be developed under the maxi¬
mum conditions.
I am attaching hereto the following:
A report under date of January 28,

Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Works.
The Chair presented
No. 239.
To the City Council of the City of
Pittsburgh:
T return, without executive ap¬
proval, Bill No. 153, an ordinance
changing the rate and the form of pay
of twenty-nine stationary engineers in
various departments and bureaus from
$1,920.00 per annum to wages “not to
exceed C. V, W.,“ for the reason pri¬
marily that the current union wages
for the stationary engineers affected
by this ordinance would require about
$23,000.00 additional appropriation,
which appropriation has not been
provided for either in the general ap¬
propriation bill or in. this ordinance, I
have conferred with your honorable
body upon this subject. My inter¬
pretation of the discussion is that the
legislation is predicated upon a sup¬
posed injustice to the engineers be¬
cause of the fact that other skilled
labor in the employ of the City is
paid according to the current union
wage rate, which now is $7.25 per
day for engineers.
The argument made at the confer¬
ence in support of the ordinance is
the argument of consistency. It was
said that since the City had recog*
102
nIzeJ every other kind of unionized
labor and since the extension of such
recoRnition to the stationary en¬
gineers named in the ordinance would
cost the City but $23,000.00, the union
principle should be upheld, so that
all the employes in the City qualified
to receive the current union wage
should have it. But this is not a
true stale of fact and, therefore, the
argument falls. Not included in this
bill are five chief engineers in the
Bureau of Water receiving an aver¬
age wage of $6.57 per day and thirty-
nine assistant engineers receiving an
average wage of $5.58 per day. The
union principle will not be fully sus¬
tained until these employes are also
provided for in the same manner as
those included in the bill, and the
City, therefore, will not be put to the
expense of only $23,000.00 additional,
hut 1 calculate $25,000.00 more.
Instead of justice being satisfied by
this enactment, justice would be de¬
feated. in my opinion. Instead of
comparing .the rate of pay of en¬
gineers with the other C. U. W, em¬
ployes, a limited number, the com¬
parison logically should be with the
vast mass of City employes upon
whom an average cut of fifteen per
rent was inflicted only a month ago.
And comparison should be made be¬
tween the preceding rise from pre¬
war wages to war-peak wages.
I might add that I have investigated
and find that only a small number of
rtalionary engineers employed in this
City and vicinity receive the “current
union w’age." In other words, it
hears no relation to the market rate
of pay. I do not set up the market
rate as being the sole standard by
which to judge the compensation of
public employes. I made that per¬
fectly clear at the budget sessions
recently. The variation in the cost
of living and the ability of the un¬
employed property owner to meet his
tax payments are of equal cogency
at this time. We agreed at the bud¬
get sessions that the cost of living
had been somewhat reduced with the
exception of certain things, notably
rents. We decided to reduce the tax
levy in aid of the property owner and
indirectly of the tenant. That we
correctly gauged the inability of the
taxable to pay is proved by the ear¬
liest receipts of the City Treasury.
From the first ten days' collection one
year ago there was received a total
of $3,325,600; from the same period
this year, $2,676,400. Instead of an
87Vfe per cent return from the current
levy, these figures indicate only 70
per cent. You will recall the cuts
made at the budget sessions in the
various departments and bureaus
which required the reduction of forces
and the infliction of part time upon
more than a thousand men. The early
tax returns indicate the necessity of
more severe retrenchment than any¬
one connected with the City govern¬
ment heretofore has thought of. The
administrative department cannot be
a party to any unnecessary expen¬
diture. Unless further and deeper
cuts are made into our rate of ex¬
penditure the City will be without
funds to meet its obligations towards
the end of the year.. I am no prophet
of woe but on the other hand am not
blind to plain facts. All arguments in
favor of an illusory consistency are
patent fallacies when confronted by
the facts.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. MAGEE.

In Council February 14, 1922. Bill
returned by the Mayor without his
approval, and further action post¬
poned for one week.
Which was read.
And on the question, "Shall the bill
become a law notwithstanding the
cbjcclions of the Mayor?"
Mr. FlnKlisH arose and said:
Mr. President, in taking issue with
Mayor Magee on the question of sus¬
taining or overriding his veto of the
urdinance to pay current union wages
to the engineers employed by the City
of Pi ttsburgh I want to say, first,
that I have no personal feeling
again.'-.t the Mayor in this matter. It
is his sworn duty to veto any and
every bill that does not meet with
his ai)proval just as it is the sworn
<luty of a Councilman to vote against
any and every bill, including vetoes,
which do not meet with the approval
of a Councilman.
I have carefully considered the veto
message of the Mayor and I regret to
say that I cannot find very much in
it, in my' opinion as a valid and suf¬
ficient reason to cause me to change
my original position of supporting
the ordinance which proposes to pay
current union wages to the engineers
employed by the City.
The primary reason given by' the
Mayor and in fact the only reason
offered in the veto message is that
"this ordinance would require about
$23,000.00 additional appropriation,
which appropriation has not been pro¬
vided for, either in the general ap¬
propriation bill or in this ordinance."
The logic of this kind of reasoning
ought not to prevail in the judgment
of this Council. If we were to follow
a policy' of that kind by refusing to
pass any ordinances because no ap¬
propriation had been made in the gen¬
eral api^ropriation bill we would be in
trouble all the time and the City of
Pittsburgh might suffer tremendous
loss and damage if Council were to
stick to such a policy. On the con¬
trary, we have very wisely adopted
the plan of making transfers from
one apxiropriation to another in order
to provide funds to do some worthy
thing for which no provision was
made in the annual appropriation bill.
As an example illustrating this I
would call attention to Bill No. 175,
authorizing the Mayor to employ a
consulting engineer to report on the
condition of the Shady avenue. High¬
land avenue and Penn avenue bridges
over the Pennsylvania Railroad in the
East End section of the City, The
$1,500.00 to pay this consulting en¬
gineer was not set up in the general
or annual appropriation ordinance or
in any other ordinance.
Speaking for myself, I would hesi¬
tate a while before offering to Mayor
Magee the lack of an appropriation in
the general ordinance as a primary
reason, or any other kind of a reason
for voting against the bill for a con¬
sulting engineer to report on the
condition of the East End bridges.
The next matter referred to in the
veto message is the current union
wage rate, which is stated as being
$7.25 per day for union engineers. 1
did not know this was the rate, as no
reference is made in the ordinance
which w'as vetoed to any specific sum
of money. The bill reads, "not to
exceed C. U. \V.," meaning not to
exceed the current union wage paid
by other firms who employ engineers.
It is the duty of the administration to
check up the wage rate asked by the
Engineers as well as all other em-.
ployees coming under the terms of
C. IT. W. to determine whether or not
the City is being asked to pay the
same current union rate as other em¬
ployers are paying.
The next statement in the veto
message refers to a new matter en¬
tirely and unless one understands this
question as I think the members of
Council do, one might think that
Council was trying to force the City
to start as a new policy, the adoption
of current union wages for crafts¬
men who belong to unions. Because
forsooth the Engineers in the Bureau
of Water have not joined this union,
we are expected to deny current union
wages to men who claim membership
in a legitimate union and who have
alw'ays been given the same uniform
treatment other legitimate unions have
received for years past except for the
year 1922, when through a mistake or
error of some kind a change was at¬
tempted which was not desired by
Council. As there are six members
of Council now serving, or two-thirds
of the Council which made the appro¬
priation and salary ordinance for 1922,
there can be no mistake on this
ordinance as five of the six voted for
this bill before sending it to the
Mayor and in addition the three new
members voted affirmatively making a
total of eight who have already given
affirmative votes after debate in Com¬
mittee (at which the Mayor was pres¬
ent) and again in Council in answer
to the roll call.
I see no reason or necessity for
starting an insurrection among the
the employes of the Bureau of Water
by inviting them to join a union, but
I do see that bringing such employes
into this controversy may start
trouble. If the engineers in the
Bureau of Water must be brought
into the argument it is unfair, in my
opinion, to lump all their salaries
or wages in order to strike average
rates of ?6.57 and $5.58 per day, un¬
less othet* conditions affecting wages
are also injected. What about vaca¬
tions and whether with or without pay,
hour.« of service, penalties for time off
and various other questions which have
all been settled by the agreement on
which current union wages are based.
Why should any extraneous matter be
injected into this question such as
the following statement from the veto
message: “The union principle will
not be fully sustained until these em¬
ployes (in the Bureau of Water) are
also provided for in the same man¬
ner.” (Jne not familiar with the
question under discussion would think
that Council wa.s the business agent
of a labor union organizing unions
in order to increase wages against
the interest of the taxpayers, when
such is not the case at all.
If such extraneous matter is to be
allowed in this discussion why not
bring in the engineers who operate
the fire apparatus in the Bureau of
Fire and show that thousands of
dollars would be added to the payroll
if this additional group of engineers
in the Bureau of I^ire were included
to “.sustain the union principle,*' I
claim that such statement has no
place in this discussion. The bill in
question Is to correct a mistake which
was made in the Salary Bill for 1922,
when the stationary engineers, who
claim to have a legitimate labor union
in Pittsburgh and vicinity, were
changed from a daily wage at current
union wages to a monthly wage. The
amount of daily or monthly wages
and the total cost to the City if this
bill passes will not affect the tax rate
for 1922 or increase the appropriations
for 1922, as these have already been
fixed for the year. It is the duty of
Council and the Mayor to provide the
necessary transfer of funds already
appropriated for 1922 in order to carry
out the provisions of the bill in ques¬
tion. As the transfer is not in any
immediate hurry we have plenty of
time to look after it later in exactly
the same w^ay as the $1,500.00 required
for employing a consulting engineer
to furnish a report on the three E^ast
End bridges.
If the Council were actually seek¬
ing to impose a new union on the
City at this time I might feel inclined
to agree with a veto because I am
not in favor of the City being mulcted
by mushroom unions whose members
are limited to employes of the City.
It is the duty of the administration
to protect the City against such a
fraudulent practice and the City has
many sources of information to en¬
force such protection.
T dissent most emphatically from
the follow'ing statement in the next
paragraph of the veto standing as it
does without any qualification:
“Instead of justice being satisfied
by this enactment, justice would be
defeated.” This statement, as it stands
in the abstract, certainly is subject
to the interpretation that if Council
passes the bill in question, instead
of righting an injustice, exactly the
opposite w'ould result. Where is the
injustice referred to? Is it against
the union which expected to get the
same recognition it has been getting
until 1922, or is it against engineers
in the Bureau of Water, who have
not comi)lained to Council, and who
are not members of the engineers’
union, w'hich asks for current union
\vages instead of being changed to
monthly salaries, a new departure of
w’hich they had no notice or knowl¬
edge prior to the passage of the 1922
salary bill. If any injustice has been
done, surely it was against the en¬
gineers, W'ho are protesting against
the change in their pay. The answer
to this is that as soon as Council w'as .
109
'I
made aware of the injustice of the
change, Council very promptly passed
the ordinance to grant C. V, W. to
the engineers.
I explained my position when I
voted for the bill on original passage.
I will repeat, in brief, the substance
of my remarks on that occasion: As
long as the policy of the City is fixed
in the matter of paying current union
wages to craftsmen who get such wages
from numerous other employers of
such craftsmen, the City is in duty
bound as a matter of common hon¬
esty and fair dealing to apply the
same policy to all legitimate labor
unions. Years ago the City of Pitts¬
burgh adopted the policy of recogniz¬
ing the principle of current union
wages as applied to members of legit¬
imate labor unions who happen to
work for the City. Please note that
this is a broad matter or policy, not
a temporary expediency adopted to
please any individual or to carry out
a certain specific contract affecting
some particular matter that might
arise in conducting City business. This
policy has not changed with a change
of administration; it has been operat¬
ing for years and has been recognized
by the Government for years, conse¬
quently I cannot see any injustice in
applying this policy or principle to all
legitimate unions having members
working for the City.
The last paragraph of the veto
message is rather lengthy and brings
in additional new matter such as cost
of living, rents, collection of taxes,
deficits, etc. As I have stated before,
any new matter has no place in this
discussion, as the tax rate for 1922
and appropriations for 1022 cannot
be affected by the passage of this
bill. It is possible of course to
operate an extravagant government
which would cause an increase in the
1923 tax rate, but I do not anticipate
any such course. The last and largest
paragraph of the veto message is a
very splendid statement, proving that
Mayor Magee is the municipal expert
We said he was when we urged the
voters of Pittsburgh to elect him.
However with the exception of a few
lines the statement does not contain
anything relevant to this question, if
it is intended as an argument or a
reason for me to reverse my vote on
this bill. The few lines which bear
on the matter, are, in my opinion as
follows: “I might add that I have in¬
vestigated and find that only a small
number of stationary engineers em¬
ployed in this City and vicinity, re¬
ceive the current union wage.*'
If this is true, and I have no reason
to doubt the Mayor on this point, it is
unfortunate that the Mayor has not
given the Council some results of his
investigations. For instance, did he
ascertain how many stationary engi¬
neers are employed in Pittsburgh and
vicinity? how many are members of
the union .seeking recognition? how
does the memViership in this union
compare in numbers w'ith the total
number of engineers employed in
Pittsburgh and vicinity? are the en¬
gineers employed on monthly salar¬
ies or on a daily wage basis? do the
rates of pay vary greatly in amount?
how many City of Pittsburgh em¬
ployees are in this union? how does
the number of City employees who are
members, compare with the total
member.ship in this union?
The answer to these few questions
would materially assist the adminis¬
tration in determining what rate of
wages should be paid the engineers,
l)ecause the terms of this ordinance
would surely permit the Mayor to act
justly and fairly with the engineers
and at the same time no injustice
could result to the taxpayers. The
ordinance read.s very plainly “not to
exceed C. V. W." Lest I be misunder¬
stood, I will give my interpretation
of the terms. If the engineers union
is a legitimate labor union dealing
with numerous other persons employ¬
ing their memi>ers, and such ‘members
are receiving a recognized compen-
.sation of a certain sum whether it be
on a monthly or a dally basis with
the same or similar conditions of
hour.s, service etc., as prevail in simi¬
lar work to be done for the munici¬
pality there is proper authority in this
ordinance to permit the administration
to deal with this matter in a just
and equitable manner towards all con¬
cerned.
In conclusion, Mr. President, permit
me to repeat that I have no personal
difference with His Honor Mayor
Magee, on this question. I regret of
cour.se that it is necessary for me to
vote to i>a.ss this ordinance notwith¬
standing his veto. My position on
this bill is the same that I have taken
for years on this question, as long as
the City of Pittsburgh continues the
policy of recognizing collective bar¬
gaining by legitimate labor unions,
we cannot in all fairness discriminate
in favor of any particular legitimate
labor union and by the same token,
we should not discriminate against
any particular legitimate labor union.
In my opinion it is the duty of the
110
administration to determine what
unions are legitimate and act accord¬
ingly, but Council cannot exercise any
such faction which is clearly an ad¬
ministrative duty. When I think the
administration is right, it will be my
duty as well as my desire and pleas¬
ure to support the administration but
in this instance, when I think the ad¬
ministration is wrong, I regret that
I must be recorded as not agreeing
with the administration on this par¬
ticular measure.
Mr. Carlniiil arose and said:
Mr. President, it was not my inten¬
tion to say anything unless something
was said on the subject by some
other member of Council. The gentle¬
man has opened the subject; therefore,
I must perforce say something in an¬
swer.
This matter has been so much
talked about in Council and in com¬
mittee that it is hardly necessary to
repeat what has been said, and every¬
one knows my position in this matter,
I, however, want to put myself on
record again and say that it is ille¬
gal for Council to recognize any labor
union, and every man knows that we
mu.st not legally recognize a labor
union in this Council. The gentleman
says the City of Pittsburgh recognizes
labor unions, but that is no reason
why the City should continue to give
them recognition when it is illegal to
do so.
T have never objected to the man
who works by the day, namely, the
bricklayer, plumber or carpenter, get¬
ting his daily pay even as fixed by
the union generally recognized. But
in the case of stationary engineers
who are employed by the month, I
believe they should be paid on a
monthly or annual basis as is paid
stationary engineers employed in office
buildings and industrial plants. The
stationary engineers working for the
city are no better workers than the
.stationary engineers in outside em¬
ployment.
ny fixing the wages of these em¬
ployees at current union rates they
will be paid $7.25 a day, which will
mean an increase of $23,000.00 a year
for all the stationary engineers in
the employ of the City.
Next week the wages of these artis-
Rj)s may be raised to $9.00 a day.
Labor Temple can do that very thing
and some of you here would willingly
pay the $9.00, believing in that shib¬
boleth that the I^abor Temple runs
the City of Pittsburgh. I want to
tell you that the Labor Temple does
not run Pittsburgh. You just imagine
that it does.
1 v.ant to again reiterate that it
is illegal for Council to recognize
labor unions; you cannot recognize
them legally. You are putting one
class of citizens against the other. I
say it is all tommyrot to recognize
labor unions.
I want to say that Mr, Andermon is
the only consistent member of Coun¬
cil of the six members who voted for
this in the budget. This salary of
$160.00 was fixed in the budget and
we fixed it at that salary without
w'orking any hardship upon these
employees, because there are men
equally as good who are working for
less wages and are just as well satis-
ed. There are many stationary engi¬
neers in the City of Pittsburgh who
are working for $135.00, $140.00 and
$145.00 a month, and we fixed the
salary for the stationary engineers in
the city service at $160.00 a month to
be fair.
If you men want to obey the dic¬
tates of the Labor Temple and ignore
the taxpayers, go ahead and override
this veto. I want to say that the
great majority of the people of Pitts¬
burgh are watching Council's action
today and saying we should save this
$23,000.00. The gentleman in dissect¬
ing tho Mayor’.s veto message did not
say anything about this $23,000.00 in¬
crease in appropriations. Of course
We can transfer the money later.
There are not so many pockets In this
year’s appropriation bill to transfer
from, and this bill if passed would
increase the deficit in prospect this
year with an overestimate of $500,000.-
00 now to be made up.
Stop in the City Trea«urer's Office
a.s I did today. You will see dozens
of persons paying their taxes. See
how many of them pay with a
smile. What I am trying to do here
is to obey the law and keep down
toxation, which means rents.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the bill become a law notwithstand¬
ing the objections of the Mayor?’

Mr. Garland moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second and third readings
and final passage of the resolution.
And the rule having been sus¬
pended, the resolution was read a sec¬
ond time,
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, I just wanted to call
your attention to the fact that in the
veto message on the bill that was just
voted upon, the question came up as
to where we were going to get the
money, and 1 asked for special con¬
sideration on this bill because I op¬
posed it in committee for the reason
that no appropriation was set up with
which to pay the services of this
engineer. However, last week in
committee the bill was amended in
such a manner that $1,500.00 was
agreed to be transferred due to the
fact that money set up for a certain
position which was not filled will not
be needed.
I have no objection to the report
being made by the engineer, but I do
not believe we had any right to
transfer money that might be saved
in one department or another. We
received this bill at the re(iuest of
hi,s Honor, the Mayor, and by courtesy
of Council the money was provided
by a transfer, and I do not think
there should have been so much criti¬
cism of Council's action in pa.ssing the
ordinance placing the stationary engi¬
neers on a current union wage basis.
I want to call your attention to the
fact that this money was provided by
transfer from another account and
Council might be able to do so later
on some other bill.
Mr. Knglisli arose and said:
Mr, President, I think this bill
should be passed because it is a very
worthy measure. The purpose, we
were informed by the administration,
is to employ a consulting engineer
to make a critical and careful ex¬
amination of these important bridges
in the Fast End section of the City.
We have reports from our own bridge
engineers in w'hich they say that these
three bridges should be built immedi¬
ately or else traffic will soon be tied
up and thus result in a lot of incon¬
venience and loss of time to the
people who are compelled to use these
bridges.
My position is that if the Mayor
cares to get a consulting engineer for
a check, as it were, on the work done
by the Division of Bridges in the
Department of Public Works, $1,500.00
ought to be a very worthy invest¬
ment. Suppose we find for instance
that only one bridge needs to be
strengthened this year and this propo¬
sition of spending several hundred
thousand dollars for three new bridges
could go over for some months, it
would help the financial condition of
the city. Suppose that the consuling
engineer gives as his opinion that the
bridges are in danger, then we must
do something immediately or else we
will not only have bridges to build,
but possibly loss of life; and money
damages; and I think it is the part
of wisdom to get outside engineering
advice, such as was done on the
Boulevard of the Allies. I think the
expenditure of this $1,500.00 is a W’ise
investment, and I think it should be
passed by Council.
And the resolution w'as read a third
time, and opon final passage the ayes

MOTION’S AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr Anderson presented
No. 279. WHEREAS, The news¬
paper accounts of remarks made at a
Chamber of Commerce meeting’, that
soldiers urging a bonus appropriation
would be profiteers; and
WHEREAS, The further account
that this statement received great ap¬
plause, would, if allowed to pass un¬
challenged, be a slander on the dead
American soldiers, an insult to the
living, and a lasting disgrace to the
City of Pittsburgh; Therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Council of
the City of Pittsburgh protest against
the reported remarks and applause as
being Un-American, and declare that
such unworthy sentiment is opposed
and resented by the great majority of
the people of Pittsburgh, whom we
have the honor to represent; and, be
It further
RESOLVED, That the Council of
the City of Pittsburgh hereby endorses
the Bonus Appropriation for our sol¬
diers.
Which was read.
Mr. Ander«on moved
The adoption of the resolu¬
tion.
Mr. Giirlniitl arose and said:
Mr, President, it is not my inten¬
tion to say anything on the motion.
a Director of the Chamber of Com¬
merce I refrain from voting. I re-
.'^pect the author of the resolution.
He gave up a boy for the cause. I
also would say that we should not
hold the Chamber of Commerce re¬
sponsible for the actions or remarks
of any one member any more than I
hold one member of Council respons¬
ible for the action of the whole body.
Mr. Mo.Arille arose and said:
Mr. President, the resolution is
clear on that point. There is no in¬
tention to criticize the Chamber of
Commerce or the resolutions passed
by it. The resolution before us refers
to remarks and actions of individuals.
Mr. (liflrbiiid arose and said:
Mr. Pre.sident, I hold no brief for
the Chamber of Commerce: it can
speak for itself. I am a past Presi¬
dent of the Chamber of Commerce and
a member of its present Board of
Directors, and the Chamber of Com¬
merce as a body is not responsible for
the actions or speeches of individual
members.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I am going to sup¬
port the resolution and I am a mem¬
ber of the Chamber of Commerce.
I am not holding anyone responsible
for any action taken at the Chamber
of Commerce. In voting for this reso¬
lution I do not feel we are holding
the Chamber of Commerce respons¬
ible for the action of any of the speak¬
ers at that meeting, as it was de¬
scribed in the newspapers. This reso¬
lution speaks for itself. Regardless of
any action taken by the Chamber of
Commerce it has no relation to it. I
cheerfully would have voted for a
similar re.solution three months ago.
I hold no malice in my heart against
the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr, BngliKh arose and said:
Mr, President, I think it should be
noted in the minutes on rollcall how
each member votes on this resolu¬
tion; otherwise it might be noted that
all the members of Council have voted
for it, noth withstanding the fact that
one member of Council has already
stated that he would refrain from
voting.
I think the resolution is drawn very
properly, and it is very proper for a
body like the Council of the City of
Pittsburgh to rebuke the statement
alleged in the public press as hav¬
ing been made in the Chamber of
Commerce. Somebody In authority
ought to rebuke this kind of thing
and show that the real people of
Pittsburgh do not endorse such senti¬
ments.
The resolution does not condemn the
Chamber of Commerce, but condemns
the sentiment expressed in certain re¬
marks, and also condemns the ap¬
plause which greeted the remarks. If
such procedure is permitted to stand
as expressing the sentiment of Pitts¬
burgh it is a disgrace to the city and
for this reason the Council should
condemn such proceedings and brand
them a.s not representing the real sen¬
timent of patriotic Pittsburghers.
There should be a mass meeting in
Pittsburgh at which our soldier boys
and their friends could express their
views as to whether they are profi¬
teers or not, because they seek an ad¬
justment of their compensation in a
clean, legitimate manner appealing to
the proper National authority, the
Congress of the United States.
1 second Mr. AnilerMou’s motion to
adopt this resolution, and I am heart¬
ily in favor of its passage by this
Council.
117
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President, 1 do not like the
idea of this Council sitting here in
virtuous judgment. Perhaps we
should not take umbrage.
It is wrong to hold the Chamber
of Commerce responsible for utter¬
ances of a member. The remarks of
one man at that meeting are not the
sentiments of 6,500 members of the
Chamber. Remarks at that meeting
should not be considered the senti¬
ment of the chamber, any more than
things said in this room should be
regarded as the sentiment of Council,
We must not assume too much. In a
measure, the resolution has no place
here, but coming from a man who
lost a son in the late war, a man I
respect, and looking at it as a criti¬
cism only of those making the re¬
marks and not as a criticism of all
the members of the Chamber of Com¬
merce, it is alright.
The Chair said:
I want to say there is some justice
in what Mr. Garland said, and the
resolution puts Council on record as
to the policy of paying a bonus. I be¬
lieve a bonus should be paid. The
utterances of one or two men in the
Chamber of Commerce meeting seemed
to carry the sentiment of the cham¬
ber because the resolution before the
chamber was sustained by vote, not¬
withstanding the report of a com¬
mittee headed by the President of
the chamber, whose recommendations
were not adopted. We may differ with
the Chamber of Commerce or any
other body on the fundamental ques¬
tion of a bonus, but I think it comes
with ill grace when men representa¬
tive of a large body utter sneers
and speak slightingly of soldiers, call¬
ing them profiteers and comparing
them to Boy Scouts.
Mr. Me.Ardle arose and said:
Mr. President, I am a member of
the Chamber of Commerce and have
been for years. I was not present at
that meeting Saturday when those
alleged remarks were made, but had
I been present, I, nor anyone else
could have stopped the remarks being
made, nor the applause.. Yet I would
not hold myself responsible in the
slightest degree for the remarks for
the approval of them by certain indi¬
viduals.
Insofar as that part of this resolu¬
tion is concerned, there is neither
spoken nor implied criticism of the
Chamber of Commerce. What we have
under consideration are the remarks
I uttered at that meeting and the ap¬
plause brought forth by those re¬
marks for which individuals are held
responsible and criticized by this reso¬
lution before us. not the Chamber of
Commerce.
On the other point, as to the cham¬
bers attitude finally on the bonus,
the resolution does not apply, for, as
a member of Council, I would not go
further than the soldier spokesmen
themselve.s, who have generously and
respectfully expressed their recog¬
nition of the right of the chamber
to dissent from the resolution of the
Board of Directors and withhold ap¬
proval of the bonus.
I The soldiers did not criticize the
: action of the Chamber of Commerce,
as distinguished from the action of
individuals in the meeting. We are
exactly in that position. We are only
going beyond it in expressing ap¬
proval of the bonus and in differing
from the Chamber of Commerce in this
respect there is no implied criticism
of their action. I am voting* for the
resolution with that understanding.
The Chair said:
I think you are right, Mr. MoAnlle.
The resolution specifically refers to
the remarks made at a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce and the ap¬
plause which those remarks brought
forth, and it does not reflect upon the
Chamber of Commerce. The remarks
quoted were sneeringly made and were
an insult to American patriotism.
I want to say finally as far as the
bonus is concerned that 1 am in favor
of it. J am in favor of the bonus if
for no other reason than that England
and France have paid their service
men bonuses and with money bor¬
rowed from this country, and if this
nation can loan other nations money
to pay a bonus, why can't it do some¬
thing for its own soldiers?
And the (luestion recurring on flF
adoption of the resolution, the ayes
and noes were ordered taken, and
being taken were:
Ayes^—Messrs.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW
Pittsburgh, February 27, 1922.
To the Honorable Council of
the City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
We are in receipt of your com¬
munication asking for an opinion and
report "as to whether the Council has
any jurisdiction in regard to the
abandoning of engine houses, or if
the Mayor and the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Safety have pow¬
er to abandon fire engine houses, not¬
withstanding the protest of Council;
in other words, whether this is an
executive or legislative function."
Under the Act of June 20, 1901, P.
L. 586, Section 1, it is provided:
"The care, management, adminis¬
tration and supervision of the police
force, and all matters relating to
the public health, to the fire and
police force, fire alarm, telegraph,
direction of fire escapes, * • •
and the construction, protection and
repair of building-s erected for po¬
lice and fire purposes, shall be in
charge of this department (the De¬
partment of Public Safety,"
All fire apparatus purchased is ap¬
paratus belonging generally to the
City of Pittsburgh and in charge of
the Director of this Department, and
the men employed are employed gen¬
erally and are under the control and
direction of the Director. There is.
nothing to prevent the Director of the
Department from transferring men
from one engine house to another, or
from transferring apparatus from one
place to another, when in his judg¬
ment it is desirable so to do. If in
his judgment efficiency can be secured
and at the same time the Department
conducted more economically by either
consolidating two fire engine houses,
or by abandoning one and relying
upon another engine house to take
care of the fire protection in the
community from which the engine
company is removed, the matter is
one entirely for executive discretion
and in no sense a legislative matter.
Respectfully yours,
Richard W. Martin
City Solicitor.

No. 392.
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
March 13th, 1922.
To the Council of the
City of Pittsburgh:
I return Bill No. 165, without
executive approval. This bill appro¬
priates the sum of $1,500.00 to defray
the expenses of a National Kncamp-
ment of the Army and Navy Union, to
be held in Pittsburgh during the first
week of September, 1922. The com¬
munication from one of the officers
i of Port Pitt Garrison No. 91. of the
Army and Navy Union, recites the
fact that the appropriation desired
will be expended for the rental of a
convention hall and for the moderate
entertainment of the delegate.^ attend¬
ing. The same communication con¬
tains the information that the total
membership of the organization
throughout the United States is twen¬
ty thousand and that the local mem¬
bership is two hundred forty-six.
My objection to the bill is its
illegality. In Stegmaier v. Goerringer
218, Pa. 449, the Supreme Court hold:
“The custom of commemorating im¬
portant military and civil eVents is as
old as mankind, and at common law,
the right of municipalities to make
appropriations out of public funds
for the proper observance of such
occasions was recognized for centuries.
There is no reason why a municipality,
unless restricted by statute, should
not be permitted to make a reasonable
approriation in order to fully com¬
memorate public events in which all
the eitlxenM thereof »re or Mhoiild be
Intere.stert.” I respectfully submit to
you that this is not the commemora¬
tion of any public event, so far as the
resolution recites, or if in fact, al¬
though not so stated, there should
be some public event worthy of com¬
memoration, the number of our citi¬
zens or the citizens of the United
States belonging to this organization
is not sufficient to give this affair
the general character and nature con¬
templated by the court in the above
opinion. There would be a very
j great difference to my mind in, for in-
I stance, the celebration of Armistice
j Day by all the veterans of the world
war and a convention, such as this,
of representatives of only twenty
thousand soldiers of. whom but two
hundred forty-six were resident.^ of
this community.
Furthermore, as to the form of the
expenditure, the ordinance appropri¬
ates a lump sum, whereas the lan¬
guage of the opinion above mentioned
specifically stated: “In the exercise of
I this power the rule should be ob¬
served that money apropriated for
these purposes should be expended
under the supervision and direction of
the proper officer or department of
the city government and that bills
should he presented, vouchers filed and
the accounts audited in the same
' manner as is provided by law for the
! expenditure of other public funds.’*
142
The bill is illei^al and void both
in principle and as to form.
Respectfully submitted
W. A. Magee,
Mayor.
Which was read.
Also
Bill No. 165. Resolution au¬
thorizing and directing- the City Con¬

penses of a National Encampment of
the Army and Navy Union, to be held

City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
March 20th, 1922.
To the City Council of the
City of Pittsburgh:
I return, without executive
approval, Bill No. 329, which author¬
izes and directs the issuance of a
warrant in favor of Joseph Wallace
for the sum of $205.61 to reimburse
him for the payment of county taxes
for the years 1913 to 1920 and the
costs thereon, the same having been
levied against a piece of city-owned
property on Franks town avenue at
the corner of Wheeler street, which
was sold to said Joseph Wallace at
public auction on November 30, 1920
for $7,200.00, which sum has been
paid to the City and a deed delivered,
with clause of special warranty. The
City Solicitor advises me that the
property was not sold subject to any
claims against it but only “the title,
interest, claim and demand of the
party of the first part, of, in and to’’,
the said premises and that there is no
obligation on the part of the City of
Pittsburgh to reimburse the purchaser
for said county taxes. Furthermore,
I beg to suggest to you that any
authority conferred upon the Mayor
and the Controller to issue a warrant
for this purpose is illegal.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. Magee,
Mayor.
Which was read.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Bill No, 392. Communication
from the Mayor, returning wiiltout his
approval, Bill No. 165, Resolution set¬
ting aside $1,500.00 in Code Account
No. 42, Contingent Fund, to defray
the expenses of the National Encamp¬
ment of the Army and Navy Union.
In Council, March 13th, 1922, Read
and laid over for one week and copy

Which was read, received and filed.
Also
Bill No. 165. Resolution au¬
thorizing and directing the City Con¬

not to exceed $1,500.00 to defray the
expenses of a National Encampment
of the Army and Navy Union, to be
held in Pittsburgh during the first
week of September, 1922, and authoriz¬
ing the i.ssuing of warrants in pay¬
ment of said expenses, upon payrolls
approved by the Comiittee on Finance.
In Council, March 13, 1922, Re¬
turned by the Mayor without his ap¬
proval and laid over for one week.
Which was read.
And on the question, “Shall the reso¬
lution become a law notwithstanding
the objections of the Mayor?”
Mr, Garhind arose and said;
Mr. President, the Mayor's point is
well taken, that an organization hav¬
ing only 240 members in the Pitts¬
burgh district should not be given
V5uch an appropriation, amounting to
about $6.00 for each member. The
fact that no public event of patriotic
significance is intended to be com¬
memorated should also be taken into
account.
Mr. EiigllMli arose and said:
Mr. Pre.sident, if there are only a
few hundred members in Allegheny
County belonging to this organization,
and if they are not going to celebrate
some particular event. I think the
Mayor is right in disapproving this
appropriation. Personally my reason
for .voting for it originally was that
150
we should encourage the soldiers and
sailors in this community in com¬
memorating events that have taken
place in this country or some event
in which they themselves participated.
However, this does not specifically
provide for the celebration of any par¬
ticular event, and for that reason I
am going to vote to sustain the May¬
or’s veto.
Mr. AndfTHOn arose and said:
Mr. President, I have not changed
my mind. The Mayor did not say that
he was vetoing this resolution be¬
cause there were only 240 members
in this organization, hut vetoed it on
the question of law. 1 think, perhaps,
the gentleman who introduced the
resolution knew how many men were
affected.
Mr. Mnlone arose and said:
Mr. President, I voted for this reso¬
lution because I thought affairs such
as that to be celebrated by the Army
and Navy Union should be encouraged.
I believe events of these soldiers are
going to do a wonderful lot of
good to our community, and I agree
with the previous speaker that the
particularly small number in this or¬
ganization was not the purpose of
the Mayor’s veto of the appropriation.
It is true ,the Mayor in his veto
message does state how many men
are in the organization, but recites
the law and gives that as his reason
for • vetoing the apiiropriation. The
auestion was brought up in com¬
mittee as to w'hether it was legal and
it was passed, and because of the veto
I am not going to change my mind.
I know this Council has appropriated
money for other conventions which
have been held in Pittsburgh.
The Cluilr said:
I presented this resolution and will
vote to sustain the Mayor’s veto.
Every member of Council knows that
this resolution cannot become a law
without the Mayor’s signature, even
If all the members of Council voted
for it notwithstanding the Mayor’s

Council sent this resolution to the
Mayor for an expression of his
thought and he expressed it. The
resolution was merely presented out
of sentiment for the soldiers and sail¬
ors who belong to this organization.
They are holding a national conven¬
tion in the City of Pittsburgh. It is
sentiment rather than legal, and the
Mayor has taken advantage of his
prerogative, and the resolution to be
effective, must be signed by the May¬
or.
And the question recurring, “shall
the resolution become a law notwith¬
standing the objections of the May¬
or?”

Which was read.
Mr. Gnriniid moved
That further action on the bill
be indefinitely postponed.
And’ by unanimous consent Mr. Her¬
ron arose and said:
Mr, rre,sident, I wish to say that I
am now voting AYK because I do not
want this controversy to continue in
this present form. I stand willing to
vote to amend the ordinance so that
it will not include the first and sec¬
ond months, but that it will become
effective June 15th and end Septem¬
ber 15th. I had a delegation of rail¬
road men to see me and this is sati.s-
factory to them. I believe we should
I do something to make all our people
i happy, and if this amendment that I
suggest should carry I believe it
would eliminate a lot of the opposi¬
tion to the daylight saving ordinance.
The Clniir said:
Under the rules of Council a mo¬
tion to postpone action indefinitely
on an ordinance or resolution pre¬
vents Council from again taking ac¬
tion on that matter during the life
of the Council.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, that is a rule of
Council. We had an opinion from the
City Soliictor that the members of
Council, who made the rules, can also
change them.
'Mr., MoArdio arose and said:
Mr. Pre.sident, there is something
very v’tal before us, not perhaps on
this, P.3 far an I am concerned, but
on the ruling. This bill is to repeal
an existing ordinance. I take it that
the rule cou’d not be construed to
prevent the introduction of another
hill to amend an existing ordinance.
The Clia'r said:
That is true, but as far as the pres¬
ent i)ill is concerned, it i.s lost during
the life of this Council, which is two
years. During that time it cannot
bo revived. So far as an amend¬
ment to the existing ordinance is
concerned, that can be presented any
time.
The C’liafr was opposed to this day¬
light caving ordinance originally be¬
cause I believed 'it an illegal ordi¬
nance, and an attempt to amend the
ordinance would not be supported by
me because it would be as illegal in
two or three months as it would be
in four or five. '
I am advising against supporting
the motion to indefinitely postpone
acUon because the rules of Council
pi'oh:bit the introduction of a simi¬
lar ordinance now before us during
the life of the present Council, which

is a period of two years, and I be¬
lieve all members should vote upon
the question with that fact in mind.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, the only thing I want
to say is that if Council in its wisdom
should decide to amend this bill it
has all the authority to do so.
And the question recurring, “Shall
further action on the bill be indefin¬
itely postponedd"

ing the City and the Borough of Mill-

the City Controller to charge the
same as part of the cost of said Im¬
provement. ■ '
Which was read.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President for a point of infor¬
mation on Bill No. 205 Resolution
authorizing the payment of certain
extras on the contract for the im¬
provement of East Ohio street. The
sum is fixed in the preamble of the
bill but no reference is made in the
resolution itself. What affect might
that have on the validity of the bill?
The Chair said.
I will have the clerk answer that. •
Mr. Martin (the Clerk) said:
I might say, Mr. McArdle, that we
have never received any of these res¬
olutions from the Department of
Public Works calling for extras in
any other form than the one presented
in this resolution.
Mr. McArdle said:
There is no extras herein set forth
and nothing set forth in the bill what
particular work was being paid fos
here. They were, of course, referred
to in the vouchers or supplementab In¬
formation that we received; and this
brought to my mind the position
Council itself took quite recently
where the body of the resolirtioh'
differed from the preamble governing
the sale of a piece of property. There
was no oontroUing feature in the reso¬
lution itself, yet it was plainly stated
In the preamble, and there was a con¬
flict between each, artd th-e attitude
of both the Law Department and the.
Council was that there was no con¬
trolling feature in the res.olution it¬
self. The resolution before us, to
my mind, is similar in character. It
seems to me when resolution of this
kind are presented it should contain h
specific statement of the amount to
be paid.
The Chnlr said:
The resolution does not contain any
specific information, and does not say
what the extra work was.
Mr. E'ligliMh arose and said:
Mr. President, I believe that Mr.
McArdle has raised a vital question
and we should ask the Law Depart¬
ment to submit an opinion;
The Choir:
The Chair will entertain a motion
to that effect.

Mr. Gnrlnnd arose arose and said:
If Couhcil passes this. resolution to¬
day, does it not &o to the Law Depart¬
ment before settlement is made?
Mr. said:
It does, but does that cover the
question raised by Mr. McArdle?
Mr. Gnrlancl said:
It does it a shorter way. The reso¬
lution provides that the extras set
forth herein shall be paid. I do not
know that we are going far wrong
in passing the resolution in its pres¬
ent form. We have been passing them
ripht along; ^so what I believe we
should do is let the Clerk find out
for the future. This only means a
delay.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
The Choir presented
No. 436. Whereas, the Wil¬
liam Penn Highway is completed or
under contract as far west as Ex¬
port, Westmoreland County, and there
remains only about 15 miles to com¬
plete its construction to its western
terminus where it merges with the
Lincoln Highway; and
Whereas, the William Penn High¬
way, when completed, will prove of
inestimable value to Pittsburgh, both
as a local highway, and as a through
thoroughfare to the East, and Its
completion will also bring to Pitts¬
burgh thousands of tourists and oth¬
ers who would not otherwise visit our
City, thus bringing us Anancial gain
as well as advertising our City;
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Council of the
City of Pittsburgh hereby urges upon
the State Government the immediate
completion of this undertaking, as we
deem it to be one of the most im¬
portant, if not the most important of
the highways demanding the atten¬
tion of the State Highway Depart¬
ment.
Resolved further. That a copy of
this resolution he forwarded by the
City Clerk to Governor Sproul.

given him to face bis accusers, or
even know who had accused him,
Moran was given a notice of dismiss¬
al on Saturday evening, March 4, 1922,
about 8:15 P. M.; and
Whereas. Under Section 2 of Art-
ic'.e 12 of the Charter Act (as amended
by Act of June 1901, P. L. 586) the Di¬
rectors of Departments are required to
give written orders and written rea-
son.s for the suspension and removal
of subordinate officers Therefore, be
It
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Safety be and
he is hereby reque.sted to furnish to
the Committee on Public Safety, as
noon as possible, the following infor¬
mation in connection with the sus¬
pension and dismissal of Detective
P. B. Moran:
1. Copy of the written order and
reasons furnished him on suspension.
2. Copy of the written order and
reasons furnished him on dismissal.
3. Name of the person or persons
who made accu.sations against him
and the date of which accusations
were made.
4. The complete statement of the
accusations against him.
5. Reason for refusing to give
him any definite information as to
charges or accusations against him

tain city in Pennsylvania?

investigations made by the Depart¬
ment of Public Safety from the time
of the suspension to the time of the
dlsmis.sal.

partment of Public Safety from the
date of dismissal until the present
time.
8 Copies of any statements made
by any and every person to the Direc¬
tor and to any and every employe in
the Department of Public Safety hav¬
ing any bearing whatever on the
matter of the suspension and dismiss¬
al of Detective P. E. Moran, including
voluntary statements to the Director
and all others as well as any state
ments resulting from inquiry by the
Director and others in the Depart¬
ment of Public Safety,
Which was read.
Mr. Engll.sh moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Eiigli.*4li arose and said:
Mr. President, I want to say that
the reason which prompts me in
bringing in this resolution is that I
happened to endorse Mr, Moran for
the position of Detective about a year
ago and I was surprised to find that
he was suspended and almost immedi¬
ately dis>'nissed without being given a
hearing. I attempted to get the in¬
formation as to why he was sus¬
pended, but was unable. I was not
concerned so much in the dismissal,
but I am vitally concerned why this
man was suspended. I learned
through rumors that a certain person
had visited Director McCandless and
this person made the charges which
resulted in the suspension and dis¬
missal of Mr. Moran from the Detec¬
tive force. In my conversation with
the Director he intimated that Moran
had done something which was crimi¬
nal and if the charges as intimated by
Director McCandless to me are true,
Mr. Moran should not only be dis¬
missed but should be prosecuted by
Director McCandless. On the other
hand if the charges are not true Mr,
•Moran should not have been suspended
or dismissed under a cloud. In either
case I do not intend to allow my name
to stand on the records of Pittsburgh
as having endorsed the appointment
of a man to such a high position who
is either a criminal or a crook, and
that is the- principal reason that
prompted me to present this Resolu¬
tion asking Director McCandless for
information. For two weeks I have
been trying to get the facts in this
case but had not received much infor¬
mation.
On Saturday Director McCandless
told me, when I asked him for the
information, that he would not give
it to me. I advised him that if he
refused me the information I sought
that I would be compelled to intro¬
duce into Council a resolution to have
it furnished.
At that time (last Saturday) Direc¬
tor McCandless wa.s pleased with the
1(53
1
Idea of a Resolution in Council and
in fact said he welcomed such a Reso¬
lution. The newspapers published a
report of the proposed Resolution yes¬
terday. During^ the conference of
Council with the County Commission¬
ers this morning, Director McCandless
called me on the telephone and in¬
vited me to come to his office and see
the report he had on this matter, I
replied that I could not go to his
office as I was late with a previous
engagement and in any event having
announced that I intended to present
a Resolution in Council he could sub¬
mit any report he had in response to
the Re.solution. He became very in¬
dignant and exclaimed that he would
not give Council any information in
response to any Resolution. I en¬
deavored to calm him by urging him
to be temperate in this matter; that
any member of Council was within his
rights in asking any Director for in¬
formation regarding City business
and surely if the Council voted for a
Resolution asking for information the
Director would furnish it. The Act of
Assembly is very clear on this point
regarding Council’s right to obtain in¬
formation from all other City Officials.
Perhaps when Director McCandless
learns a little more about Council
and the power of Council, he will not
talk as he did to me on Saturday and
again this morning. The Resolution
Is very plain and very clear and there
is no reason for Director McCandless
to become indignant before he knows
what is contained in this Resolution.
Perhaps he will live and learn like
all of us in Council know, that he is
not clothed with arbitrary powers
above that of the Council of the City
of Pittsburgh.
Section 2 of Article XII of the
Charter Act, as amended by Act of
June 20, 1901, P. L. 586, provides, "The
Directors or chief officers of depart¬
ments shall appoint all subordinate
officers, clerks, employes, and by
written order, giving their reasons
therefor, may remove or suspend sub¬
ordinate officers and clerks, provided
the same is not done for political rea¬
sons.”
Now*, Mr. President, I have outlined
a series of questions, in this resolu¬
tion, which I believe Council has a
perfect right to ask. There is no
animosity or vehemence in them.
Council has the right, under the
Charter Act, to at all times ask the
director or any municipal department
for Information. This, together, with
the fact that' I sponsored Mr. Moran
for the Detective Bureau ,has prompt¬
ed me to come before my colleagues
to ask that the resolution be adopted
and that Director McCandless be re¬
quested to furnish this body 'with the
information.
Mr. Criirlnnd arose and said:
The gentleman is within his rights
in asking for the information, but he
may not get it.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
I feel very sorry for the citizens of
Pittsburgh if the Council does not get
the information it seeks. I have al¬
ways believed that the director of a
department had the right under the
law to suspend an employe, but Mr.
EiigllKh has brought up a question
that is thoroughly legitimate, and the
fact that Mr. Garland says the gentle¬
man is well within his right in asking
for the information and then remarks
that he may not get the information,
makes it all the more essential for us
to pass this resolution to see if we
do get the information.
Mr. MoArdle arose and said.
Of course, while I do subscribe to
the thought that a member may be
within his right to ask for certain In¬
formation I do not subscribe to the
thought that any other department is
obligated to give him that information
because he has utilized his right to
ask for it, and I am fully convinced
that there are a number of things askjed
for in this resolution which a mem¬
ber has no right to demand; but if
he has a right to have them he has
a right to demand them. So if we
are starting out on the theory of pro¬
tecting the rights of^ Council, which
is a very fine thing to do, it is right
to find out where we start and end.
Mr. Knglinh arose and said:
Mr. President, that is exactly what
we are trying to ascertain. The rea¬
son I presented this resolution is to
find out whether the Director can dis¬
miss an employe without reason. It
has been intimated that there was
something crooked involved in Moran’s
dismissal. If that is true we should
know It, and if it is not, then Moran
should be cleared.
If we have no right to ask for the
information set forth in the resolu¬
tion we will be so informed. I think
I have a right to ask this Council
to pass such a resolution to determine
that fact.
The Chair said:
I think you have the right to ask
for that and a right to receive It
164
Council has on other occasions taken
up matters where injustice has been
done and where an employe of the
City of Pittsburgh has been denied
the right to which he was entitled.
It Is our duty to see that justice is
done» and if we do not get this infor-
mallon asked for in this resolution
we will have some fun.
Mr. Miilone arose and said:
Mr. President, I am only a newcom¬
er. but I believe this Council has some
right to know what is going on in
tho municipal departments. Section
S of Article XIV of the Act of June
20, 1901, P. Jj. 586, as amended by the
Act of May 31, 1911, No. 192, P, L.
461, reads: “Council and the Mayor,
or either, shall have the right to call
for such information from every de¬
partment, either at stated intervals
or from time to time, as they or either
of them may think proper; and it
shall be the duty of the head of each
department, upon request by either
the Mayor or the council, to furn¬
ish to either full access to the books
and records of his department, and
as full information as to the opera¬
tion of the same, as the said mayor
or council may require.”
Now, I have absolutely no interest
in this resolution; never heard of it
and the first time 1 heard it read
was when the clerk read it, I be¬
lieve it is only asking for information
that any member may ask for on any
subject.
The Chair said:
We shall be careful not to ask for
something that Is not right. If we
do ask for anything that is right we
shall see that we get it.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
I arise to ask that I be recorded as
voting NO.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. iCiigllNh moved
That the Minutes of the pro¬
ceedings of Council at a meeting held
Monday, March 13th, 1922, be ap¬
proved.
Which motion prevailed.
And on motion of Mr. Gnrlniid
Council adjourned.

' To the City Council of the
City of Pittsburgh:
I return, without executive
approval, Bill No. 385, authorizing the
payment of $350.00 to L. L. Murray as
damages for an injury suffered by his
son at the Sheraden Playgrounds. My
reasons are those contained in a
communication of the City Solicitor
to your Honorable Body, namely, that
the City is not liable in any event for
risks taken by children in playing on
the City’s Recreation grounds and the
further fact that the City’s represen¬
tatives at the playground deny that
they directed or asked the boy to
engage in the particular act which
was the result of his injury.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. Magee, Mayor.
Which was read, and on motion of
Mr. norland, laid over for one week.

City of IMttsburgh, Penna.,
March 23rd, 1922.
To the City Council of the
City of Pittsburgh;—•
With further reference to Bill
No, 329, providing for the issuance of
a warrant for $205.61 to Joseph Wal¬
lace for the payment of county taxes
assessed against city-owned property
on Frankstown avenue, at the corner
of Wheeler street, which said prop¬
erty was sold to said Joseph Wallace
at public auction on November 30,
1920 for $7,200.00, I beg to advise Your
Honorable Bf>dy that my previous
communication under date of March
20th was written without full knowl¬
edge of all the facts. I have since
learned from the city officials, who
represented the City in the sale, that
it was agreed that the purchaser was
to take the property free from all
encumbrance.s and, in view of such
subsequently discovered facts, I with¬
draw any further opposition to the
enactment of the legislation, but sug¬
gest further that the measure remain
without action until the Ci.ty Solicitor
has opportunity to request an exoner¬
ation from the County of Allegheny
on the ground that the City was the
owner during the period for which
the tax was assessed.
Respectfully submitted
W. A, Magee,
Mayor.

Mr. Anderson presented
No. 536. Whereas, Ey order of
the Department of Public Safety, No.
27 Fire Engine House on Lincoln ave¬
nue was closed and abandoned on
March 1st of this year; and
Wherea.s, Council has received num¬
erous protests from the people of the
Lincoln avenue district claiming' the
Engine House is a necessity to the dis¬
trict and should not have been aban¬
doned; and
Whereas, A committee of Council has !
made an investigation and visited the
district affected by the closing of this
Engine House, and believes the de¬
partment has made a mistake in aban¬
doning No. 27 Engine House; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Mayor and the
Director of the Department of Public
Safety be and they are hereby re¬
quested to have No. 27 Fire Engine
House on Lincoln avenue reopened and
put in commission.
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Safety.
Mr. MoArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I arise to a question
of personal privilege. On Saturday
morning I understand that there was
a meeting of the Committee on Fi¬
nance, the record of the meeting show- j
ing that I was not present. j
In that connection I desire to say >
that the first information I had that ;
Malone
McArdle
Robertson
Winters (Pres.)
it was contemplated to hold this Fi¬
nance Committee meeting was about
G:30 o’clock on Saturday evening when
I arrived home, after I had spent the
day in the City, and found the postal
card notice. The postal card was de¬
livered to my house by the mail carrier
on his first delivery and was delivered
between the hour of 10:30 and 11
o’clock in the morning. That was some
three-quarters of an hour after I had
left the house, and I did not during
the day have any intimation that the
committee was in session. I did not
come near City Hall, so I had no notice
of the meeting until long after it had
taken place, and I had no intimation
of what was to be considered until I
had read it in the Sunday morning
papers.
I arise now that a minute may be
made in this meeting explaining my
absence from that meeting.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, I arise also in the
same manner. I too did not receive
my postal card notice until I arrived
home Saturday evening. I happened to
be in .Director Finley’s office on Sat¬
urday morning and learned that he
was attending a meeting of the Fi¬
nance Committee, and by reason of
that fact I went to the committee
room and found the committee in ses¬
sion, this being some time after the
cojnmittee convened.
I would suggest that in the future
when meetings are held on short no¬
tice that the clerk send out special de¬
livery letters notifying the members
of Council of the time and place of
the meeting.
Mr, Robertson moved
That the minutes of the pro-
ceeding.s of Council at a meeting held
on Monday, March 27, 1922, be ap¬
proved.
Which motion prevailed.
And on motion of Mr. Robertmon
Council adjourned.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
President Winters at this time called
Mr. Anderson to the Chair, and taking
the floor presented
No. 570. Whereas, The number
of robberies, street holdups, payroll
robberies, store holdups and other
crimes have recently increased to an
alarming degree in the City of Pitts¬
burgh, thereby creating a general feel¬
ing of fear for the public safety; and
Whereas, Many of these crimes have
remained unsolved and a consequent
failure to apprehend the criminals, and
it is reliably reported that thieves
have escaped with $63,000.00 worth of
loot during the last two months—an
average of more than $1,000.00 per
day; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Safety and the
Superintendent of Police and the Cap¬
tain of Detectives be requested to ap¬
pear before the Committee on Public .
Safety, Tuesday, April 18, 1922, at 3 I
o'clock P. M., and advise Council as to '
the causes of and policy of the De- \
partment, especially the Detective )
Bureau, in coping with the present i
crime wave and as to the desirability
of any need of assistance from Council
to help remedy existing conditions.
Which was read.
Mr. Winter* moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. WinfcTH said:
'T think the situation calls for I
something of this kind. I think Coun¬
cil as representatives of the people
ought to know something of the de¬
partment's activities. The newspapers !
have been filled from day to day with
notices of crimes committed and the i
failure of the Department to appre¬
hend the criminals. Crimes have in¬
creased while arrests have decreased.
The’author has nothing more in mind
than to have the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Safety appear be¬
fore the Safety Committee and give
us some advice or some explanation
as to how the department is meeting
the situation, because privately I have
received a great deal of information
to the effect that the department is in
practically a demoralized condition. I
am not sure whether the reported in¬
efficiency in the department is due to
demoralization or due to the con¬
nivance of members of the department
with crooks, which was intimated by
the Director in a report to Council a
short time ago as being responsible for
l>resent conditions."
And the question recurring upon the
adoption of the resolution, Mr. Win¬
ters demanded a call of the ayes and
noes, and the demand having been
sustained, the ayes and noes were or¬
dered taken, and being taken, were:
Ayes—Mes'srs.
Malone Winters
Anderson (Pres, pro tern)
Noes—Messrs.
English McArdle
Garland Robertson
Herron
Ayes—3,
Noes—5,
And a majority of the votes of Coun-.
cil being in the negative, the resolu¬
tion was rejected.
Mr. Winters arose and said:
‘T am sorry that the members of
Council do not want this information.
I haye done my part."
President Winter.* resumed the
Chair,
Mr. Herron moved
That the Minutes of the Pro¬
ceedings of Council at meetings held
on Monday, April 3, 1922, and Monday,
April 10, 1922, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And on motion of Mr. Garland
Council adjourned.

RESOLVED. That the Mayor be and
he is hereby authorized and requested
to arrange for a Conference, at an
early date, between him.self, the mem¬
bers of Council, the Director of the
Department of Public Works, tji*
Board of Public Education, the Alle¬
gheny Playgrounds Association, the
Citizens Committee on City Plan and
the Recreational Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, for the pur¬
pose of formulating plans looking to
the placing of all recreational and
playground activities in the City of
Pittsburgh under one supervision.
Which was read.
Mr. Mnlone moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. UobortNon arose and said:
Mr. President, before I vote on this
proposition I want to know something
about it. I want to know what the
purpose of the conference is and the
reason for any change in the super-
238
vision of the playground activities.
If such a change is contemplated.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. Presiiient, the purpose of the
resolution is to have a conference
with representatives of the organiza¬
tions named therein to ascertain if
some plan could not be worked out
whereby a satisfactory arrangement
could be had to have a single, direct¬
ing head or supervising head for all
the playground and recreational ac¬
tivities.
I/a.st week at the hearing granted
representatives of different organiza¬
tions on the request for a playground
In the Hill District certain subjects
were brought up—one of which is
covered by the resolution presented by
.Mr. Gnrlxiiul and unanimously adopted
hy the Council. At that hearing some
people were advocating the purchase
of grounds adjacent to the Franklin
School, and the thought occurred to
me that since the Board of Public
Kducallon is maintaining playgrounds
they should be asked to either pur¬
chase grounds adjacent to this school
or co-operate with the City in its
efforts to satlfy the people of this
particular section by the purchase of
a playground site. I know there are
at least five school houses in the City
where the Board of Public Education
maintain playgrounds. For a certain
period of the year the activities are
turned over to the Bureau of Recrea¬
tion. In the middle of September the
Bureau of Recreation turns the ac¬
tivities back to the Board of Public
Education. Therefore, on these par¬
ticular activities two different heads
handle them.
In Addition to these two activities,
the Bureau of Recreation and the
Council Board of Public Education, the
City Council appropriates annually
money to the Allegheny Playground
Association to operate playgrounds
and recreation centers on the North
Hide.
During the last year or two the
Council and the Mayor have purchased
certain plots for playgrounds which
have not yet been taken charge
of by the Bureau of Recreation.
I believe the three organizations
are overiaping each other in their
work, and by reason of this overlap¬
ping there is a conflict of authority.
This should not he, because all three
activities are operating on money
assessed against and collected from
the taxpayers of Pittsburgh.
My purpose in presenting the reso¬
lution is to have a conference with
the representatives of all organiza¬
tions interested in playground work
and try to arrive at an arrangement
whereby we will only have one direct¬
ing head for all the playgrounds in
the City of Pittsburgh. I am satis¬
fied if such an arrangement could be
worked out we will get a better serv¬
ice at a smaller cost.
Mr. IlobortHon arose and said:
Mr. President, that all might look
good and might.be alright theoretic¬
ally, but practically the North Side has
been in the hands of one woman who
has given satisfaction to the people
and the Council. The Council have never
questioned the management of the North
Side playgrounds and have appropri¬
ated everything that Mrs. Cowley has
asked for. There is no question about
her ability to manage the playgrounds
over there, Mrs. Cowley, I think, is
one of the best playground managers
in the State. There is no conflict in
authority over there, except that it
comes from Pittsburgh. I am opposed
to putting the supervision of all the
playgrounds in charge of one person.
I think if different sections of the
City would have the same arrange
ment as the North Side it would be
better for the City.
Mr. MoArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I am willing to sup¬
port the resolution for the purpose of
having the conference, because I take
it that no injury could be done by
the conference between the parties
designated in the resolution, and I hope
that out of it will come a better un¬
derstanding of the recreation and play¬
ground problems as they face the City
of Pittsburgh.
In supporting it I do not want to
be understood as committing myself
to what it says in the preamble of
the resolution. I am a long ways
from concurring in the thought that
we ought to have all of these activi¬
ties under one head. I do not know
that such a thing would be possible
unless that branch of the municipal
activity was ready to take over all
of the responsibilities and all the
costs and relieve the School Board,
or the School Board was ready to
take over not only the playgrounds
and play activities, so far as they
effect children who are in the schools,
but for all recreational purposes for
all the people of Pittsburgh, young
and old.
239
1
With this view expressed, I am in
favor of the conference, but I would
not for a minute commit myself now
to any greneral plan that looked to the
consolidation of all of these activi¬
ties under either of these two heads.
Mr. Hi-rroii arose and said:
Mr. President, in seconding’ this mo¬
tion for a conference, I did so in the
hope that we could bring order out
of Chaos. Last year we had three
or four men on our payroll while at
the same time they were working for
the Board of Public Education, and
they were drawing $350.00 to $400.00
a month of the taxpayers’ money.
They were performing the same ser¬
vice for the City and the Board of
Public Education. Therefore, I am in
favor of the conference so that such
conditions as this may be eliminated.
As to the management of the play¬
grounds on the North Side, I do not
think there is any criticism to make.
I believe the playgrounds over there
are in competent hands. Mrs. Cowley
is to be commended for the splendid
work she is doing. She is able to
operate the playgrounds on a cheaper
scale than the other two activities, be¬
cause she is able to get persons
who volunteer their services.
However, there is too much waste
in the management of our play¬
grounds, and it is our duty to stop
this waste. Therefore, if we can get
all interested parties together we may
be able to bring about such an ar¬
rangement whereby this activity will
come directly under one head. For
that reason I am in favor of the con¬
ference.
I might state that on the North
Side the playground association use
the school houses for play purposes
in the summer time. On this side of
the river there is not a single school
house used for play purposes; and if
it i.s a success on the North Side, why
wouldn't such a system be successful
on this side? Therefore, out of this
conference something may develop
which will bring about a similar ar¬
rangement on this side.
Mr. Gnrlnntl arose and said:
Mr. President, I simply want to say
that I do not believe everything as
recited in the preamble to the resolu¬
tion. I am in favor of a conference.
I have always been In sympathy
with the Work being done on the
North Side and Mrs. Cowley is to be
congratulated for the splendid work
she is doing. I believe she conducts
the North Side activities more satis¬
factorily and at a less cost than we do in
Pittsburgh. One reason, for this is
the volunteer service.
I do not think there is any over¬
lapping in this work. I do not want
to see the school board mixed up in
this work. It is true that they are
a tax collecting body; but I think
this is an activity which belongs en¬
tirely to the City. I am willing to
talk it over in conference and I am
therefore in favor of the passage of
the resolution.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, there is nothing In
the preamble to the resolution that
criticizes anybody. There was no
thought in my mind when the reso¬
lution wa.s i)rep.ared and there is no
thought in my mind now to criticize
the head of any one of the three
different organizations.
I readily agree with Mr. Koberfson
that they have a splendid supervisor
on the North Side. I know that the
Board of Public Education has a good
head and as far as the Superinten¬
dent of the Bureau of Recreation Is
concerned, she has served under two
Mayors, and I believe she is an ex¬
cellent superintendent. There is noth¬
ing in the resolution which criticizw
any one of the three groups. I would
not criticize Mrs. Cowley, because I
tried to get her to be Superintendent
of the Bureau of Recreation.
I believe as Mr. ItobertHon does;
that if we could bring those volunteer
workers to all the other sections of
the City the City of Pitsburgh would
save much money.
My purpose in presenting the resolu¬
tion is to have a conference with all
the interested parties and try to make
some arrangement whereby this over¬
lapping, and I might go further and
say conflict, may be stopped,
I wish to recite an incident which
took place at the McKelvey School.
During certain periods of the year
the Board of Public Education have
control of the play activities there,
and during the summer time, that is
during the school vacation term, these
activities are under the control of the
Bureau of Recreation. " Last summer
the services of a plumber were re¬
quired to do some repair work and
neither of the two wanted to assume
responsibility for the payment of this
service. There is where the conflict
of authority appears.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.

No. 689.
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
May 2, 1922.
COrXCIL OP THE
CITY OF PITTSBURGH.
Gentlemen:—
On April 24, 1922, you adopted
a re.solutIon requesting this Depart¬
ment to Investigate the construction
of a building on Duquesne way near
the Sixth Street Bridge, for the pur¬
pose of determining whether the
building la being erected on the side¬
walk, and whether the provisions of
the least are being violated by the
ieaaee.
In answer to your request, I find
that by Ordinance approved the 23rd
day of July, 1921, Ordinance Book,
vol. 32, page 442, Muncipal Record,
page 258, and Mayor and the Director
of the Department of Public Works
were authorized to enter into a con¬
tract of lease with John W. Bulger
for a part of the Duquesne Wharf
near the Sixth Street Bridge, as speci¬
fically described in the ordinance.
From a report of the Superintendent
of the Bureau of City Property, made
to the Director of the Department of
Public Works, under date of May 1st,
it appears that the building is erected
on a line with the piers of the rail¬
road and not on the sidewalk, and
from a letter of John A. Fugassi,
Superintendent of the Bureau of High¬
ways and Sewers, of April 27th, it
appears that he was advised by Mr.
Gelston that there is no sidewalk on
that side of the street.
The propriety and advisability of
leasing this property is a matter for
Council, and, so far as I can find,
the lessee has complied with his
lease in this particular.
Respectfully yours,
Richard W. Martin,
City Solicitor.
Which was read, and on motion of
Mr. Garland, received and filed.
Mr. T(<»1»ortNOii moved
That the Minutes of the pro¬
ceedings of Council at meetings held
|On Monday, April 24th, 1922, and Mon¬
day, May 1st, 1922, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
The Cliair stated
That the condition of Mr,
llorlniid is very much improved,
And on motion of Mr. RoliertMon

inttsburgh, May 13, 1922.
Dear Sir:
I have a communication from
the City Clerk, with reference to Bill
No. 688, a resolution requesting a
conference on consolidating play¬
ground activities.
I\Ir. Finley has some very definite
ideas on this subject and I w’ould be
glad to attend a conference at any
time you choose, say in the first three
days of next week at ll :00 in the
morning-
The resolution suggests the atten¬
dance of the Director of the Depart¬
ment of Public Works, the Board of-
Public Education, representatives of
the Allegheny Playground Association,
the Citizens Committee on City Plan
and the Recreation Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Yours truly,
W. A. Magee.

MAYOR’S OFFICE
Pittsburgh, May 13th, 1922.
Dear Sir;
In addition to conferring on
the subject of playgrounds, the City
Council, the Director of the Depart¬
ment of Public Works and myself
should confer upon the subject of
the rentals in the Market House.
X have a case before me where the
receiver of a bankrupt’s estate wishes
to obtain a renewal of an expired
lease in behalf of someone to whom
the receiver wishes to assign the
stand and for which he tells me he
will receive $2,000 for the bankrupt's
estate. His argument is that the
bankrupt created a good will in the
stand that should redound to the bene¬
fit and advantage of his creditors. I
suspect on the contrary that the
assignee is willing to pay this bonus
because the rent of the stand is too
low.
East year the Council authorized
five year leases. For .some reason
the last administration did not exe¬
cute and deliver five year leases under
the ordinance. I have directed the
Department of Public Works not to
make any leases until we could view
the whole subject in all its bearings
and I suggest that we confer upon
this subject at the same time when
we meet on the playgrounds.
Yours tru]y,
W. A. Magee.
Daniel Winters, Esquire,
City Clerk’s Office,
Pittsburgh, Penna.
Which was read.
lifr, iWcArdle moved
That the communication be
received and filed, and the President
of Council arrange with the Mayor
for the conference suggested on the
Market rental question at some agree¬
able time when nothing else will in¬
terfere as it is big enough for a
day’s work.
Whicli motion prevailed.
Also
No. 743.
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
May 12th, 1922.
TO THE COUNCIL OP THE
CITY OP PITTSBURG-H:
I return, without approval,
Bill No. 573, an ordinance authoriz¬
ing an increa.se of indebtedness of the
city in the sum of $99,000.00 to pro¬
vide for the cost, damages and ex¬
penses of city playgrounds, for the
reason that the councilmanic credit
will not permit of the i.ssuance of
the bonds therein provided for and
at the same time permit of certain
other increases of indebtedness al¬
ready determined upon.
The estimate of the cost of ap-
l)roaches to the Sixteenth Street
Bridge amounts to $630,000.00. I am
notified that the Board of Viewers In¬
tend to award property damages on
the Boulevard of Allies to an amount
of $180,000.00 in excess of the esti¬
mated damages already included In
the calculation of the councilmanic
borrowing power. The property dam
ages estimated in certain other im¬
provements, namely, the grading, pav
ing and curbing of For tola avenue,
Way land way and Wick line lane,
amounting to $55,000.00 must likewise
be charged. The sewer on Fair Oaks
street, $11,000.00, and the widening of
East Ohio .street, $4,500,00 must also
be considered. I calculate that the
jiarticular improvements I have men¬
tioned amdunt to $880,000,00 as against
a present margin of $953,361.28,
Your honorable body is aware that
you are from time to time passing
ordinances providing for the improve¬
ment of other streets and the con¬
struction of other sewers. The Board
of Viewers has before it a large
number of street improvements and.
in view of past experience, it seems
not unlikely that there will be other
awards of damages in excess of esti¬
mates. The City’s interest, in ray
judgement, requires the defeat of this
bill.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. Magee
Mayor.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. <;ar!aiul presented
No. 747.
Cape May Point, New Jersey,
May 11. 1922,
Hon. Robert Garland,
Councilman,
City-County Building.
My dear Mr. Garland.
I am the sister of John H,
Henderson City Controller. Upon the
death of our father, the late Harvey
Henderson, and the dlsi)osition of my
hoTYTe, I gave my piano to the City
for the Stephen C. Foster Memorial
Home—At the same time the piano
was taken by the City van, I sent a
larg'e mantel mirror, framed in wal¬
nut, which had been in our home al¬
ways, to be placed also in the Home, The
mirror is a handsome one,, and will
look well over the mantel in the large
room to the left of the entrance hall.
Will you be so good as to see that it
is placed there? It is too large to be
handled by any save professionals.
It has been standing all this time on
the floor. The antique style of this
piece corresponds with the period of
the house itself, and is such a one
as probably was at one time in that
room and position.
The New Era Club is soon to have
a tree-planting in the grounds there,
and they would all enjoy seeing the
mirror in its ^ place.
I feel much interest in the Memorial
Home, and will always be glad to
assist in its embellishment in any way
in my power.
Thanking you cordially for your kind
assistance in regard to the mirror, I
remain
Very truly yours
Grace Van Woert H. Henderson.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also
No. 748. RESOLVED, That a
copy of the letter from Miss Grace
Henderson relating to gift of piano
and mantel mirror to the Stephen C.
Foster Home be referred to the Mayor

articles in question be properly housed

of Pittsburgh to the donor for her
handsome gifts to this home, as.suring

TO THE COUNCIL OP THE
CITY OP PITTSBURGH:
I return herewith Bill 672, an
ordinance allowing the Doehla Wagon
Company, owner of a three-story
brick building in East Ohio street, to
maintain .said building in its pjresent
location although the same projects
over East Ohio street as widened by
ordinance approved October 2, 1919,
so long as the said building shall
stand, without approval, for the rea¬
son that the City may at some time
find it necessary to withdraw its con¬
sent and no provision is contained in
the ordinance that would allow of a
revocation of this permission.
I see no objection to leaving it
remain at the present time, but it
seems to me that the permission
should be qualified either by a period
of years or a provision providing for
a revocation on a certain fixed notice,
say one year. To be more definite, I
would not object to the permission
being granted for a period of five years.
At the end of five years, if traffic or
other conditions did not compel the
removal of the obstruction, the per¬
mission could be extended for five
years and so on during the natural
life of the building. In its present
form, however, it seems to me the
grant is too large and may turn out
to be against a public interest.
Respectfully submitted
W. A. Magee,
Mayor.

Bill No. 743. Comunication
from the Mayor returning, without

Alto
Bill No. 573. An Ordinance
entitled, "An Ordinance authorizing
and directing an increase of the in¬

In the sum of Ninety-nine thousand
dollars ($99,000.00), and providing for
thfe issue and sale of bonds of said
City in .said amount to provide funds

the Improvement of City Playgrounds
•nd the establishment of new play¬
grounds "Including the acquisition of
land, property and equipment there¬
for.) ’and providing for the redemp¬
tion of s.aid bonds and the payment
of Interest thereon."
In Council, May 15, 1922, Bill re¬
turned by the Mayor without his ap¬
proval and laid over for one week.
Which was read.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
become a law notwith.standing the ob¬
jections of the Mayor?’
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, from the viewpoint
expressed in his veto message Mayor
Magee is afraid that the Council does
not realize how close we have gone
to the limit of the Councilmanic bor¬
rowing power. The figures given by
the Mayor are correct, and from his
viewpoint the veto is apparently justi¬
fied. However, there is another side
to this que.stiqn, which is fairly under¬
stood by every member of Council.
For the last four or five years a
majority of this Council has endeav¬
ored to work out a playground system
to the end that practically every sec¬
tion of the city would have some kind
of a playground for the children. In
working out this system we have con¬
ferred and consulted from time to
time with the Chamber of Commerce’s
Committee on Recreation, with the
Allegheny Civic Club and with* the
Citizens Committee on City Plan.
Nearly all of the grounds proposed
or purchased have been approved by
these leading citizens. When the
Council and the former administration
were preparing the bond issue that
was submitted to the people on July
8, 1919, we had taken all these matters
into consideration.
It is my opinion that the prepara¬
tory w'ork done by the Councilmen in
trying to provide recreation and play-
ground.s In various .sections of the
city is the reason this playground
item, in 1919, received such an over-
w'helming vote* at the hands of the
taxpayers of Pittsburgh.
After this bond issue w'as passed the
city began to take over some of these
grounds which had been agreed upon
W’ith the various civic bodies. In or¬
der to give everyone a square deal,
the Council very wisely decided to
acquire these properties for the City
through condemnation proceedings. In
this manner the acquisition of these
properties would be an open matter
at all times, as the public would
have an opportunity to attend the
hearings before the Courts and juries
would decide the amount of money the
city would have to pay the various
property owners. The newspapers
carried reports from time to time so
that everything' was assured of a
square deal.
Unfortunately for the city this very
method of condemnation proceedings
has resulted In the cost exceeding the
estimates by something like $65,000.00.
In order to keep faith with other
communities who expected to get
playgrounds from the people’s bond
issue of 1919 the Council now find.s it
is necessary to provide $65,000.00 ad¬
ditional on account of the excess cost
through condemnation proceedings
over which the Council has no control.
The new item put into this $99,000, or¬
dinance which the Mayor has vetoed,
is for a swimming pool iin the Soho Play¬
grounds, which is located in the popu¬
lous Hill District, For my part I
think it is a very wise selection and
a splendid investment for the people
of Pittsburgh to have in this district.
Therefore, I do not hesitate for
one moment to vote for the swimming
pool in the Hill district.
It is unfortunate that we must differ
at times, but when it is necessary to
differ, I do not hesitate to take my
stand for what I think is right. In
this * particular matter I am satisfied
that the Council has made every effort
to keep faith with the good people of
Pittsburgh who expected playgrounds,
and I believe that the future will
demonstrate that the Council was jus¬
tified in taking action on this bill
today. Therefore, I vote to pass this
ordinance notwithstanding the veto of
the Mayor,
transmitting an ordinance and sun¬
dry resolutions to council.
Which was read, received and filed. »
Also, 'With an affirmative recom¬
mendation
Bill No. 666. An Ordinano
entitled, “An Ordinance fixing the
number of officers and employees of
the Bureau of Recreation, Department
of Public Works, City of Pittsburgh,
and the rate of compensation thereof."
Which was read.
Mr. (IngliMli arose and said;
Mr. President, I regret very much
that I was unable to be at the Com¬
mittee meeting, and. unfortunately,
had not been able to look into this
playground setup. Therefore, I would
ask that this bill be recommitted to
the committee for further considera¬
tion.
The money for this setup was ap¬
propriated in lump sums before the
first of the year, and in view of the
fact that five months were baken in
preparing a salary and ^vage sched¬
ule I do not believe any objection can
be oifered to a member of Council
taking a little more time to examine
it. ,
Personally I would like to have
some changes made in this bill, and
for that reason I do not propose to
vote for it today.
The Chair said:
Do you make a motion to re¬
commit it to the Committee on Fi¬
nance?
And the question recurring, “Shall
the bill become a law notwithstanding
the objections of the Mayor?”

And on the question, "Shall the bill

Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I have not changed
the views I held when this ordinance
was vetoed by a former Mayor. At
that time I stated that I was perfect¬
ly willing to assist the owners of
this building in any worthy solution
which would save the City from pay¬
ing out damages and the spoiling of
this particular building.
I In my opinion, Mayor Magee has
* the right solution to this in his sug¬
gestion for a 5 or 10 year agreement,
which would be renewed from time to
time until this particular building has
outlived its u.sefulness. Then at that
time it would then be possible to
erect a new building on the correct
i building line.
I will be very glad to vote for
some such an ordinance as I stated
on a previous occasion.
I hope the owners of this particu¬
lar building will now realize that
i the City cannot, in all fairness to
the other property owners, give this
I building preferred treatment over all
others.
And the question recurring, "shall
i the bill become a law notwithstanding
^ the objections of the Mayor?"
i The ayes and noes were fallen agree¬
ably to law, and were:

No, 833. WHEREAS, The Coun¬
cil of the City of Pittsburgh is in¬
formed that great tonnages of steel
and other products manufacturei in
Pittsburgh are awaiting the complete
canalization of the Ohio River in
order to find a year 'round ^ outlet for
distribution by river and rail to points
in the South, Southwest and West; and
WHEREAS, The completion of said
canalization project on the Ohio will
give this city and territory a 2,000
mile water freight highway for ship¬
ment of its products and for receipt
of the agricultural and other products
of the South and Southwe.st at econo¬
mies in transportation costs which
will benefit this entire community;
and
WHEREAS, Certain Pittsburgh man¬
ufacturers not waiting for the com¬
pletion of the Ohio have ventured to
make u.se of it as a freight outlet in
its present incomplete condlt'on and
have successfully shipped hundreds of
freight carloads of their T)roducts in
barges to ports on the Ohio and Mis-
sissip])i for distribution inland, but
find themselves during periods of low
w*ater, unable to maintain on a regu¬
lar schedule this service of such great
benefit to this entire community; be it
RESOLVED, By the Council of the
City of Pittsburgh that the Congress
of the United States be urged and is
hereby urged to take early action for
complete canalization of the Ohio River
as planned by the corps of engineers
of the United States Army, and that
copies of this resolution be mailed to
every member of the United States
Senate and the House of Representa¬
tives, and that the representatives
from Allegheny County be especially
urged to put forth diligent efforts to
procure the desired action in Congress.
Which was read.
Mr. Wli»<er.s moved
The adoption of the rcsf)lution.
Mr. Winders arose and said;
Mr. ITesident, the afoi>tion of this
resolution will be helpful to those
who are leading the way to bring
about the conclusions long sought for
in this community; that is. the de¬
velopment and use of our natural re¬
sources in the great waterway system
279
extending" down through the Ohio and
the Mississippi Valley to the Otulf of
Mexico.
The shortcomings and troubles of
the great railroad systems of the
country, and particularly noticeable in
this great industrial district, have
called the attention of many of the
.leaders and captains of industry to
the actual necessity of urging upon
Congress the keeping of its promise
made in 1910 to go right ahead with
the completion of the entire system
of locks and dams in the Ohio River.
It is obvious that before a satisfac¬
tory river transport service can
be permanently established two things
must be done; one, that a reliable
and permanent stage of water must
be made available by the completion
of these river improvements promised
by Congress, and the other, that the
various municipalities interested must
make provision at the various delivery
])oints for prompt and economical
loading and unloading of transship¬
ments. I believe that if these facili¬
ties are provided that the traffic on
the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers will
be revived and developed and continue
to expand in volume until the pre¬
dictions of the earnest advocates of
inland water transportation will be
realized. As the railroad systems
seem to have all the traffic they can
carry, such a condition on the part
of railroad and river transportation
will be a great benefit to the City
of Pittsburgh and communities located
in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys,
as well as the whole country.
I think upon investigation you will
find that some of the great industries
of the City of Pittsburgh are using
the rivers to an extent not apprecia-
ed by those who do not follow up or
pay some particular attention to the
•waterways question. One of the great
iron and steel companies of this com¬
munity, which is one of the greatest
companies of its kind in the world,
Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, is
now operating a waterway transport
service on a monthly basis for the
benefit of its customers in the great
territory comprised within the Missis¬
sippi Basin.
I have been informed that a large
tow departed from Pittsburgh on
April 3rd and arrived at Cairo, Illi-
noi.s, where the Ohio flows into the
Mississippi, in exactly seven days, a
distance by water of nearly 1,000
miles ,and three days later, several
thousand tons of steel products, des¬
tined for Western and Southwestern
inland points, were delivered on thr
Missi.ssippi to St. Ia>uis and trans¬
shipped to the railroad.s for final de¬
livery. This time, T am told, com¬
pares favorably with that by rail.
At different times in the year this
great waterway freight service can¬
not 1)6 carried on on account of the
need of further dam and lock facilities
as promised by Congress in Ulh
Therefore, it is hoped by friend.s of
the waterways that the calling of at¬
tention of the members of Congress to
the promises of 1910 by the officials
of the various .cities interested, Cham-
!>ers of Commerce, associations of
manufacturers and sf) forth, will be
very helpful in consuminating these
needed improvements, which wil)
make a waterway stage necessary for
transportation all the year round.
Mr. President, I a.sk for the adop¬
tion of thi.s resolution.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution, the mo* ;
tion prevailed.
Also
No. 834. WHKREAS. On Thurs- I
day, May 25, 1922, C, K. Robinson, i
Special Assistant to City Solicitor
Richard W. Martin, appeared before
Public Service Commissioner W. B. D
Ainey at hearing held In City-County
Building, and did state to Commission¬
er Ainey that the City of Pittsburgh
wa.s opposed to the granting of a
franchise for the purpose of operatinf
an auto bus line on the Boulevard of
the Allies; and
WHEREAS, The City Council a5
such, has never discussed the question
of an auto bu.s line operation on the
Boulevard of the Allies and did not in*
struct Assistant City Solicitor C. K
Robinson to protest the granting of
same; Therefore, be it
RESORVED, That the Council doef .
not oppose the operation of auto bet |
lines on the Boulevard of the AlUe-*- |
subject to aproval of the Public Ser¬
vice Commission as provided by U*^-
and a copy of this resolution h^
addressed to the members of said Pub¬
lic Service Commission.
Which W'aft read.
Mr. WiiiterM arose and said:
Mr. President, I ask for the adop¬
tion of this resoluton. I am informal
that the Assistant City Solicitor, wh*'
has charge of public utility mattfr^
C. K. Robinson, appeared before Pu^* '
lie Service Commissioner W. B. P
Ainey, and represented that the Clll
280
of Pittsburgh was opposed to the
granting of a franchise or franchises
for the operation of an auto bus line
on (he route of the Boulevard of the
Aliks.
1 do not believe that Mr. Kobinson
should have made such a statement
us representing the sentiment of the
city fr>r the reason that Council has
never discussed the subject with Mr.
llohinson and therefore did not com¬
mit the city to any expression upon
the subject.
I am asking for the adoption of the
resolution a.s an expression of that
sentiment on the part of the members
of Council.
Personally, I do not believe the
Pou’evard of the Allies should i>e used
by a preferred class of vehicle opcra-
t’on. as there are no street cars on
(his boulevard. Only those owning
auloniohiles, or those having friends
who give them a ride, would have
the i)rivllege and pleasure of using
(he Boulevard. As all of our citizens
contributed to the cost of payment
of this Boulevard, I believe they
should have equal privilege in the
use of it.
So far as the operation of a bus
line or lines, outside the expression of
sentiment of Council of Pittsburgh
that we do (»r do not oppose same, we
have no further jurisdiction as the
Public Service Commission is vested
by law with the authority to say
whc(her a franchise or franchises can
he granted and under what terms and
conditions they can be operated.
As auto bus line transportation is
l)eing carried on I believe by two
companie.s on the Bigelow Boulevard,
I can .see no logical reason for the
<'lly taking a stand against same on
the Boulevard of the Allies. There¬
fore, I asked for the adoi)tion of this
resolution.
Mr. Mnlonc arose and said:
Mr. President, in order to be more
enlightened on this subject, I would
KUggest that Mr. Kt>hinson be asked
(o appe.ar before Council.
Mr. C. K. Kobin.son, Special Assistant
<’lty .Solicitor, appeared and said:
Mr, Pre.sidenl and Members of Coun¬
cil: Since I came into the Council
Phamber, I have read tin* resolution
presented by Mr. AV In tors.
Perhap.s it would clarify the situa¬
tion by stating the facts as nearly as
I can. XewMpaper.s are frequently in-
rofrect and there is no exception to
the rules In this case.
The permit for the operation of auto
bus lines on the Boulevard of the
Allies came up shfu’lly after my ap¬
pointment to this work, and as a re¬
sult of that, I thought and Mr. Martin,
(City Solicitor) thought that It would
be a good idea to have a conference
with the Mayor. We had that confer¬
ence and it was suggested that we
talk to Commisslonr of Traffic, Benja¬
min Marshall. This was done.
At this conference a number of
questions arose reference to the
traffic in the downtown district, over
the boulevard and its effect upon east¬
ern terminus of the boulevard. It
was apparent that there were going
to be a number of applicants for
franchises to operate bus lines on the
Boulevard of the Allies, and at that
time there were two, and at lea.st two
or three others going to be made.
The result was that I suggested to
Commissioner Marshall that we ap¬
pear before the Public Service Com¬
mission and explain to the Commis¬
sioner the difficulties which had
arisen by the operation of the busses
over the Boulevard; and Commissioner
Marshall stated that there were sev¬
eral reasons. One was the matter of
the operation of busses down the
Boulevard off the viaduct crossing
Grant Street. At that time he ob¬
jected to the proposed route which
ran along Grant street to Diamond
street and dow*n to Ferry street, be¬
cause it would mean a bad turn and
would interfere with traffic: and he
was afraid that hecau.‘je of the al¬
ready congested district at this end of
the boulevard the operation of bus
lines would not only interfere with
traffic, but might he the cause of
serious accidents as a result of the
.sliding down of one of these cars on
the viaduct into traffic crossing Grant
street, and because of this he ob¬
jected .strenuously to the fixing of
this point downtown as a terminal.
He also pointed out another serious
objection to the operating of bus.ses
•on thi.s Boulevard due to the fact
that most of these busses were so
designed and oi>crated that the driver
rarely signalled to the line ()f traffic
following, and as a result of this,
persons following in pleasure cars
often piled into these busses before
they could signal to those following
behind. There were various other
elements which we thought should b 3
called to the Commissioner’s atten¬
tion.
At this time Mr. Blatncr filed his
application. I attempted to call Crmi-
missloner Marshall and have him reit-
craUi wliai h(‘ liad said to me and
discuss v/!iatever phases migliL cnine
\i]>, r tried to Kcd Commissioner Mar¬
shall twice but was unsuccessful, and,
as tlic <"ise was to be ht'ard 1 wuintetl
him to present. I told Commissioner
jViney that 1 tried to set Commis¬
sioner Marshall. , 1 stated to Commis¬
sioner Ainey what I t)elieved was the
attitude of the Mayor and the City
Kolieilor. That position v/as this, that
the City was in soma uncertainty as
to tlie advisability of having- auto
bus lines operate on the Boulevard of
the Allies, and that it seemed amons
other thinas that there should 1)3 no
permit j^ran ted to more than one
ap()licant, as it would he a ssrious
compl cation of traffic if more a])pli-
canls were ^rarjted, and that it would
intcrf.'vc witli the use of the boule-
vai d hy the general ))ul)Uc. I also
)>oin tc<l out these oi)erating* difficul¬
ties in roprard to tlie Second Avenue
terminus and the downtown parking.
I also su^-^ested that the Council had
Mot taken any action in regard to
this matter. I also pointed the fact
that they could )H)t operate their
busses without having' first ol)tained
the consent of the City.
As near as I can remember, there
was nothing- said that the City was
opposed to the operation of a bus line
on the Boulevard of the Allies.
Mr. \\ infers arose and said:
Mr. Robinson, (he statement pub¬
lished In the newspapers that the City
oi)posed the o])cration of a bus line
on the Boulevard of the Allies, were
you correctly (lUotcd or not?
Mr. Uobinso?! said;
I did not state it that way. What
J said, there was some (lucstion as
to whether the City fav<ircd a bus
line on the Ihiulevard of the All i('S,
ard it was not in favor of more than
one hus line.
Mr. WtiitcrK said:
Vou (Md not say the City was not
bi fa\or of jiii.v bu,s line operating
on the Boulevard?
Mr. iiobinson said:
1 <nd not say tliat,
WiiitcrH said:
Thc'ii yim wer(> misfj noted. Mr.
Blatncr, the gentler.ian who is inter¬
ested in securing- a franchise to oper¬
ate a hus line on the B<*ulevard of
the Allies, and from whom I secured
ai.v information, is present and I
would like him to state what he told
Ml'. AdoI])h Blattncr arose and .said:
Mr. ITesident and Member.s of Coun¬
cil;—Well, I cannot say as to all the
.statements made by Mr. Roliinson be¬
fore the Public Service Commission,
as I was not directly within earshot
of him and I could not hear every¬
thing that was said. I judged the
entire situation from the newspaper
reports which quoted Mr, Robinson
as saying that the City v.a.s oppo.s*’d
to luis lines on the Boulevard of the
Allies, and the following day I read
reports in news])apers as coming from
tile Pres dent of Council and one other
member of Council that the City was
not op])osed to bus line.s on this
boulevard.
Mr. inters said:
You say you did not hear all what
I\lr. Robinson had said to Commission¬
er Ainey of the Public Service Com-
fuission?
Mr. Blattner said:
I did not.
Mr. said:
Tell the Council what you told me
about the oi)eration of the bus lines
on the Boulevard?
Mr. Blattner said:
I believe Mr. Robinson left the im-
pre.ssion with the Public Service Com¬
mission that the City did object to
the oiicrr.tion of bus lines on the
])<>ulevard,
’’('ho Clialr said:
Is tliat what he told you?
Mr. VViliters said:
Re told me that Mr. Robfnson did
object to the operation of bu.s line.*»
on the Boulevard. Mr. Blattner. called
me up and said that Mr. Robinson did
oppose the granting of a franchise on
the P»oulevard, and I told him if he
wanted to help hi.s case along we
would hear from him.
The Chair said:
We can j-rrange, if necessary, a full
Jicaring later.
Mr. Wliilers said:
Mr. President, so that the nieiTibers
of Council may bs reliably informed
as to what was actually said at the
hearing before Commissioner Ainey.
J move that the resolution be re¬
ferred to the Committee Puhlie
Service ni'd Surveys, and that the
Clerk of Council secure a copy of the
testimony and proceedings taken be¬
fore Commissioner Ainey.
Wliich nr-.otion jirevailed.

To the ronncil of the City
of PittKluirf^h:
I return herewith Bill No. 625,
authorizing* and directing* a warrant
to be issuad in favor of John D. Sulli¬
van for the sum of $1,020,60, without
executive approv'al.
Thi.s sum represents the damages to
Mr, Sullivan incurred as the result of
the accidental shooting of him by a
policeman in the pursuance of a flee¬
ing criminal. I cannot agree with the
action of the Council for the reasons
given to your honorable body by the
City Solicitor in his communication
to you.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. Magee,
Mayor.
Which was read.
Mr. ille.l rifle reiiue.sted that the com¬
munication of the City Solcitor, re¬
ferred to in the Mayor’s commnuica-
tion, be read.
And the Clerk read the following:—
City of Pittsburgh, Penna,.
May 5. 1922.
Finance Committee of Council:
Gentlemen:—
In reference to Bill No. 625,
)>eing a resolution for a warrant in
favor of ,T. I). Sullivan for $1,029.69,
being for hospital, doctor and nurse’s
bills and lost time claimed by Mr.
Sullivan as the result of having been
shot !>y Ofificer Mullen, a policeman
of the City of Pittsburgh, on Febru¬
ary 24, 1922, and which has been re¬
ferred to this Department for opinion
and report, desire to advise you as
follows:—
It appears that on February 24,
1922. (Jfficer Walter Mullen, of No,
12 I*olice Station, was w'alking north
on Smithfteld street, when his atten¬
tion was called by one, H. H. Haw¬
thorne, to a niah running along Smith-
field street, and was told that the
man was a thief, having stolen some
things from Kaufmann and Baer’s
Store. Officer Mullen started In pur¬
suit of the man, chasing him down
Seventh avenue to Strawberry way,
between Smithfield and Wood street,
and on entering the private Way
Officer Mullen called three times for
the man to stop, then drew his re¬
volver and once more called to the
man to stop. Then he aimed his re¬
volver at the man's leg and pulled
the trigger, and as he did so, a man
.stepped from the front of a horse and
wagon that was standing nearby and
was struck by the bullet. The injured
man was J. D. Sullivan, who was im¬
mediately attended to by Dr. Malone
of the Park Building, and removed
to the Allegheny General Ho.spltal,
Subsequently, Mr. Sullivan wrote to
this Department presenting a bill for
$1,404 for lost time and expense.s in¬
curred by reason of hi.s having been
shot and was informed on April 2l8t
that under the circumstances sur¬
rounding this i)articular case there i.^
no liability on the part of the City of
Pittsburgh.
Decisions in the State of Pennsyl¬
vania and in fact all over the Unite!
State.s, have held that there is no
municipal liability for injurie.s due to
acts or omis.sion to act in the .per¬
formance of public duty by police
officers, and a policeman in the per¬
formance of hi.s duty is a government
agent and his negligence and careless-
ne.s.s while acting in that capacity can¬
not give rise to an action in damages
against the City. Jones vs. New Or¬
leans. 143 La. 1073.
Police officers can in no .sense be
regarded as servants or agents of
the City. .Their duties are of a public
nature. Their appointment Is de¬
volved on cities and towns by (he
Legislature as a convenient mode of
exercising a public function of govern
ment, but this does not render a city
liable for the unlawful or negligent
acts of a policeman. Borough of
Norristown vs. Fitzpatrick, 94 Pa, 121
Buttrick vs. Lowell, 1 Allen, 172.
Tn the case of Ask^T vs. Malone.
85 Oregon 333, where a by-stander
was shot by a policeman in seek¬
ing to capture an e.scaped prisoner,
the Court held that if the shooting
were done In a public place, where
the officer understood or should have
know'n, that people were in the habit
of congregating or likely to pass, the
act might constitute such negligence
as to render the officer civilly liable
for any injury he might Inflict upon
an innocent person.
It is the opinion of this Department.
Malone

therefor, that there is no liability
upon the part of the City of Pitts¬
burgh by reason of J. D. Sullivan
having been shot by a policeman, and
If any liability at all exists, it is
ajcalnst the arresting officer, provided
he waa guilty of negligence. i
Respectfully yours, j
Itichard W. . Martin,
City Solicitor.
And the communication of the Mayor
was received and filed.
Also
Bill No. 625. Resolution au¬
thorizing the issuing of a warrant in
favor of John D. Sullivan for the sutxi
of $1,029.69, being for hospital, doctor
and nur.se’.s bills, and lost time in¬
curred by reason of being shot by
Police Officer Mullen who was pursu¬
ing a boy. and charging the same to
(’ode Account No. 42.
In Council. May 22, 1922, Committee
amendment agreed to. rule suspended,
read three times and finally passed by
a two-third.s vote.
Which was read.
And on the (jucstion, “Shall the reso¬
lution become a law notw'ithstanding
the objections of the Mayor?”
Mr. MeAnllo arose and said:
Mr. President, Mr, Thos. M. Benner,
First Assistant City Solicitor, is here
at the suggestion of some of the mem-
Uers of Council, and, if there is no
objection, 1 would like to ask a ciues-
tlon as to whether this bill coine.s
within the category of bills which re¬
quire the signature of the Mayor be¬
fore 'they may i)ecome effective; in
other word.s, whether it is a bill that
Is possible tf) override the Mayf)r’s
veto?
Mr. Thos. M. Benner, First A.ssistant
City Solicitor, .said:
Mr. President and Members of Coun¬
cil;—The Act of Assembly in (jiiestion
provides as follows:—“No ordinance
shall be passed, except by a two-third
vote of both councils, and approved by
the mayor, giving any extra compen¬
sation to any public officer, servant,
employe, agent or contractor, after
services shall have been rendered or
contract made, nor providing for the
payment of any claim against the city
without previous authority of law'. *
• • " That last phase is the one in
que.stion. If any dej)artment. without
aathority of law, gives extra com¬
pensation to a coniramor for any
work done, that is not legal Init
Council following the statutory meth¬
od outlined in this Act of Assembly
can rectify that illegal act on the part
tif the department official and make
it a valid act. However, that is not
the (luestion at issue in this case. It
is a claim for compensation for an
alleged negligent act of a city em¬
ploye and therefore does not come
within the jurisdiction of this Act, and
can be passed notw'ithstanding the
Mayor’s veto if the re(|uired number
of votes are cast for it. For the in¬
formation of Council, I might state
that the Mayor can refuse to counter¬
sign the w'arrant and the only re-
ci>urse Mr. Sullivan would then have
is to bring an act of mandamus
against the Mayor. The courts in all
prohabilily will say that it is an ille¬
gal payment, although it has all the
forms
of a nn
oral claim.
Mr.
HoboriNOii arose ai
nd said:
Mr.
Bonner,
would you
say he
w'ould
have
no ca.se
in court?
Mr.
Kenner
said:
No.
sir.
Mr.
Kiiglisli
arose and
said:
He

t)olice o
fficer?
Mr.
Benner
said;

Mr.
Fnglisli
said:
That fact w'ould have
to be
deter-
mined
by the
jury?
Mr
AiiclorKoii aro.so am
d said:
Mr.
Preside
;nt, it is
necessary for
me to bo absent from the City next
Monday and I would ask that action
be taken on the Mayor's veto today.
The Chair said:
In the absence of a motion to post¬
pone action for one week, the bill is
before us at this time as to whether
it shall become a law notw'ithstaiidi!»g
the objections of the Mayor.
Mr. KngliKli arb.se and s.'iid:
Mr. President. I regret very much
tjiat I cannot agree with the Mayor in
bis veto of this resolution which is
dosigne<l to pay the hospital and
medical l)ills, as w'ell as lost time, for
an innocent bystander who was acci¬
dentally struck l>y a bullet at the
hands of a city policeman. We have
tf>o much technicality in our legal
bu.siiicss and in this particular case
d. would seem that the letter of the
law is to bo invoked rather than the
sjjirit of the law'.
When the clerk was reading the
opinion of the City Solicitor a thought
hashed through my mind something
like this: Suppose the bullet struck
the person for whom it was intended
and such person was really a thief,
would the people t)f Pittsburgh coun¬
tenance the man in an injured con¬
dition lying on the sidewalk and per¬
haps die there? Let me remind the
members of Council of the Joe Thomas
case of Forrest Hill, just over the
Porder in the Wilkinsburg District.
After the prisoner was shot he was
given every medical attention, placed
in a first-class hospital, doctors and
nurses provided, and even detectives,
at the expense of the County, em¬
ployed to watch him while in the hos¬
pital. It seems to me that if the
people are compelled to pay expenses
like this for prisoners, the City of
Pittsburgh certainly has the moral
right to protect against loss, injury
and damage of any innocent resident
who happened to be passing when an
officer was pursuing some one charged
with crime.
Under these circumstances, it seems
to me that we must be a little more
111!man in our dealings. For that rea-
.son I am compelled to disagree with
His Hon<;r, the Mayor, ami vote to
pass the resolution to reimburse this
citizen, notwltb.standing the veto of
the Mayor.
And the ciuestion recurring, "‘Shall
the resolution !)ecome a law notwith¬
standing the objections of the Mayor?”
The ayes and noes were taken agree*
ably to law, and were:
Ayes—Messrs.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Herron arose and said :
Mr. President, 1 understood there
was some data to be sent to Council
by the Department of I*ublic Works
regarding the completion of the Nine
iVTile Run Sewer, and I am informed
by the Clerk that thi.s information
ha.s not heen received.
The City has gone to the expense
of several hundred thousand clollar.s
in con.structing the Nino Mile Run
Sewer. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has done nothing, and the
result is that the work i.s at a stand
still, and as a result of this stoppage
of work many thousands of dollars
of damage is liable to be done.
The Law Department ought to be
spurred on to do something in this
matter.
1 move that the Law Department be
requested to immediately i)rotect the
ijiteresls of the City of Pittsburg^h,
if necessary, by going into Court and
compelling the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to co-operate with the City
in the completion of the Nine Mile
Run Sewer.
Which motion prevailed.
And on motion of Mr. MeArdle
Council adjourned.

provement Bonds that have now been
set nside for the payment of the dam¬
ages caused by the said improvement,
t'l a fund to be applied to the physi¬
cal cost of the improvement, to be
replaced out of the 1922 Street Im¬
provement Bonds.
Bill No, 851 sets aside $16,000 from
the Street Improvement Bond Fund
of 1919 and $12,000 for the Boulevard
of the Allies Bond Fund, and con¬
templates the replacement of the
SI 2,000 taken from the Boulevard
of the Allies Bond Fund by an equal
amount to be taken from the Street
Improvement Bond Fund of 1922.
The fact that some of the bond
moneys come from electoral bond
issues, and other.s from councilmanic
bond issue.s, in my opinion is imma¬
terial.
r am of the opinion that the tran.s-
fers as contemplated can be made.
Yours truly,
Itichard W. Martin

City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
June 26. 1922.
Department of Law
To the President and Members
of Council.
Gentlemen:—
In reply to your letter of
June H. 1922, in reference to Bill
Xo. 896, "An Ordinance authorizing
the Mayor and the Director of the
lH*pf-rtment of Public Works to enter
into a contract with the Penn.sylvania
Railroad Company for the reconstruc¬
tion of the bridge at South Second
utrect over Carson Street East, and
providing for the provisions thereof
and for the payment of same," asking
for an opinion as to whether the
Pfunaylvanla Railroad Company could.
In the future, collect claims from the
City hy rea.son of the reconstruction
of Raid bridge, 1 report as follows,
On December 19, 1891 ,the City of
Pittsburgh approved Ordinance No.
4J0, a« recorded in Ordinance Book Vol.
8, Page 171, granting the Pennsyl¬
vania Railroad Co. the right to con¬
struct an overhead bridge across Car-
son street between South First and
South Second streets. This ordinance
specifically stipulates that said bridge
"shall be constructed and maintained
so as not to obstruct the free use of
the public highways of said City for
all proper uses."
In accordance with the general law
on the subject, I am of the opinion
that the City of Pittsburgh will not
be liable for any claims that the Rail¬
road Company may subsequently pre¬
sent because of the reconstruction of
this bridge.
Respectfully yours,
Richard W. Martin.
City Solicitor.
Which was read, and on motion of
Mr. Rorlniid, Received and filed.
And the bill was read a second time
and agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the hill v/as read
and agreed to.
And on the question, ‘'Shall the bill
pass finally?"
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and were:
Ayes—Messers.
Borland Malone
English McArdle
(larland Robertson
Herron Winters (I’res.)
Ayes—s.
Nose—None.
And a majority of the votes of Coun¬
cil being in the affirmative, the bill
passed finally.
The Clialr said:
(lentlemen, at the last meeting a
committee was appointed to go to
Washington wTth the County Commis¬
sioners to confer upon the subject of
the Fortieth Street Bridge.
J believe the records should contain
a report of the activities of that Com¬
mittee. Therefore, I ask Mr. Mc.\r<lle
to make a report to Council.
Mr. Me Anile arose and said:
Mr. President, Mr. Herron and my¬
self attended the conference In the
office of the Secretary of War at
Washington, at which the County was
represented l»y two Commissioners,
Messrs. Gumbert and Houlehan, and
their engineers and their solicitor;
the Mayor was represented by Mr.
Martin, City Solicitor,
325
The subject-matter of the confer- I
ence was the proposal to have the I
United States (lovernment j?ive, at a |
nominal cost, sufficient of the Arsenal
prolJerty upon which to build the
approach to the projected Fortieth
Street Bridgre.
AH. that may be said of it is. that
the conference held with Brigadier-
General Carson, who was the Army
Officer in charge of the disposition of
the property the Government no long¬
er requires, gave us a respectful and
sympathetic hearing. He told us that
he would take the matter under ad¬
visement and make his report to the
Secretary of War in a short time.
We do not know what his report will
be, but we hope for action that will
be satisfactory to the City and County,
and that that action will take place
soon so that the County may go
ahead within a short time with their [
V>roject, they making the rejmesenta-
ti(jn to the Army Officer that they
would be prepared within ten days to
advertise for contracts for that
bridge when this question was once
settled.
The Cliair said:
Mr. Herron, as a member of that
committee, I would ask if you care to
supplement Mr. Mc.\rdlcts verbal re¬
port.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, Mr. .He.Arillr ha.s
covered the ground pretty thoroughly.
Of course, you understand the way
they transact business in Washington.
We were unable to see the Secretary
of War. Brigadier-General Carson was
the Army Officer in charge with whom
we took the matter up, and he gave
the representatives of the City and
County a thorough hearing.
The City and County did not ask
the Government to sell all the Arse¬
nal property to them, but only a por¬
tion to be used as an approach to the
Fortieth Street Bridge, and this por¬
tion we asked the Government to sell
to us for the nominal sum of $1.00.
This property was appraised for $67,-
000 . 00 .
As Mr. >lc.\rdU‘ said, the matter was
taken under advi.sement by Brigadier-
General Carson who advised that he
would take the matter up shortly
with the Secretary of War, and we
will have to await the final disp{)si-
tion of the matter by the Secretary
of War, and we feel confident that
the Secretary of War will'acciuiesce In
our request.
The Cliair said:
“Would like Mr. <«arluiiil to make a
report on the tri]> to Philadelphia.
June 20th, with regard lo the dedica¬
tion of the ship “PITTSBUKGU.”
Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President—“The City was repre¬
sented liy Mayor Magee, Mr. Winters,
Presi<lent of Council, and myself.
We saw the White Star Ijiner
“TMtt.sburgb” which has gone into the
transatlantic passenger service be¬
tween l^hiladelphia, Qiu'cnstown and
Liverpool. This steamship was launched
in Belfast. Ireland, being built in the
sbii)yards cjf Harlan Wolff of that
City; she was named there, this belnp
her first trip to an American port, .<?o
that we helped to dedicate her on
American soil in the presence of a
large gathering of citizens of Pittn-
burgh and the IMttsburgh District,
mostly rei>rescntatives of the White
Star Coni|>any in this territory,
Wc had a delightful time on the
boat; before during and after the
ban(juct, and while the Mayors of
Chester and Camden and other not-
al)lcs as well as some i)rominent Phila¬
delphians were present, I might
frankly that we I’ittshurghers were
really the honored guo.sts of the oc¬
casion.
At the Banquet Mayor Magee and
President Winters, properly inspired,
did themselves and their City credit
by wonderful addresses.
We carry me.ssages of greeting to
the officers of the White Star Line
and Captain Thomas Jones of the new
ship from the old City of Pittsburgh.
We were informed by the officers
that the new liner was called “Pitts-
hurgh” in compliment to the large
transportation business which the
White Star Company has enjoyed in
Western Pennsylvania and particularly
the IMttsburgh District, the .statement
lieing made • that this is their most
fertile field for passenger husines.s.
The shi|) is entirely modern in every
respect; she registers Ifi.OOfl tons and
has accomf)dation.s for fiOO cabin pas.'»-
engers and 1700 third class, and in the
largest vessel making the port of
I’hiladclphia.
The “Pittsburgh's" engines are like
the famous “Olympic’s"—she burns
oil. and has electrical installation,
which not only provides power for
electric light, elevator.s. wireles.«. and
other i)urposes hut the cooking is al*'^
done by electricity.

a credit and will continue to be a
credit to the City of IMttsburj^h after

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Mr. l^rKtiKli (for Mr. Gsirinnd) pre¬
sented
No. 1042. Report *of the Com¬
mittee 0.1 Finance for June 27, 1922.
transmittine* sundry ordinances and
resolutions to council.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also, with an affirmative recom¬
mendation
Bill No. ?17. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance authorizing
the transfer of the sum of $74,000.00
from Bond Fund Appropriation No.
194-D, Browns, ille Avenue Improve¬
ment’. to the General Fund, ‘Street
Improvement Bonds’, Bond Fund Ap¬
propriation No. 194,*^
Which was read.
Mr. IlnK'llsIi moved
A ‘suspension of the rule to al¬
low the second and third readiu^.s and
final passagre of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a second time.
The Chi ir said:
I desire to be recorded as voting:
No on this ordinance, I want to say
that this improvement Is a year be¬
hind time of completion. Two or
three times transfers of sums have
been taken from the original set up.
and I would rather wait until the
improvement is completed before any
money is taken from the fund.
Mr. Mc.trdlc arose and said:
Mr. President, 1 would like to say
in that connection In supporting the
bill to make this transfer that I am
doing it upon the information that
we have from the Department of Pub¬
lic Works that all work contracted
for in connection with the Browns¬
ville Improvement or work contem¬
plated to be done under that contract,
is adequately provided for after this
transfer is made, and that this trans¬
fer is merely the balance of $125t000.
that wc originally contemplated trans¬
ferring from this fund to make up the
street repaving schedule which we
agreed to in committee many weeks
ago.
Mr. Bnglish arose and said:
Mr. Pre.sident, having been the
sponsor for the original appropriation
for Brownsville avenue out of the
street improvement bond In which I
personally endeavored to see that
enough money would be set aside out
of the $1,400,000 street improvement
bonds, so that Brownsville avenue
would be properly taken care of, I
think it is only fair, nfter having
done everything we could to improve
Brownsville avenue, particularly in
view of all the negotiations and dis¬
turbances we had with the Pittsburgh
Railways Company, that the Director
has a.ssured us in the second clause
that there will be funds remaining In
this appropriation after the completion
of the improvement, it is certainly un¬
fair to deprive any other community
of a repaving by refusing to trans¬
fer this money. After having voted
to do all I could for Brownsville ave¬
nue, and that improvement is under
way, I think it is only fair to pro¬
vide the balance for some other im¬
provement.
And the bill as read a second time
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time

lice. Court the Morals Court, the

show such architectural design that
it will reflect credit upon the City
and the North Side, with an estiinate
of tho cost of complete structure.
Wh'ch was read.
I.Ir. DUilone moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Jilr. T)lal«iie arose and said:
J^r. President, in presenting and
asking the adoption of this resolution
1 do so with the knowledge that some
officials of the City w'ill say that the
Nortli yhlc is too far from the dowm-
town section, but with your indul¬
gence, I win cite a few facts co-.cern-
ing dii taiH’es, adaptability of location,
ecoT'<i!ii>- and civic pride. The distance
fr<»m the North S'de (’’ity Mall to this
building fCity-CTounty Huilding) is
1-11/10 miles, to Sixth street and Penn
avenue, ’% of a mile, to Sixth avenue
a"d (Irani street, 1-3/10 miles, to
Eleventh street and Liberty avenue,
1-2/10 miles, ta Sixth avenue and
Porbes .street, 1-5/10 miles, to Water
and Smithfield street, 1-3/10 mile.s, to
Second av/'iiue and Market street 1
mile.
A patrol wagon can travel to any
one of these points in from 3 to 6
minute.s.
Street cars jiassing the North Side
thty Hall will take passengers to most
any point doM’ntown in 5 to 12 inin-
ute.s.
l^eople who have business with po¬
lice* courts and members of the dejiart-
ment do not all live In one section of
the city, and no matter where the sta¬
tion and courts are located they con-
not be convenient to everybody and
the location mentioned is as close to
the centre of the city as is any other.
It surely is an ideal jilace surround¬
ed by other public buildings a large
open square, and wide streets, and
don’t overlook the fact that wide
.streets are a necessity now, and will
be more so in the future, near jiolicc
courts and fire engine and truck
houses. The new motor engines and
large ladder trucks need wide streets
in front of the houses, so they can
gel in an<l out. Wide .streets will be
noco.ssary near the police courts,
especially where hearings are given
to persons who violate the traffic
laws. Nearly all these people jdace
forfeits for hearings, or they are given
a summons to appear for hearing, aid
usually they go to the police court in
their machine, and if the polics court
is located on a narrow or largely con-
grested street, they will make that
community more congested and liable
to another arrest. The North Side
streets can take care of this condi¬
tion for manj^ years to come.
The four fire engine and truck
companies and the patrol mentioned
can all be provid3d for in a* building
on this site, the properties they now
occupy can be sold, and the district
they serve will be given proper pro¬
tection from the proposed building.
One of these companies is only 3/10
of a mile—a second is 5/10—the third
5/10 and the fourth 7/10; in fact, if
you will make a trip around the four,
ending at the one you started from,
you will find the outside circle is
2-8/10 miles, with the North Side City
Hall in between all of them. Then
you would find a company 1 mile to
the north, another 9/10 of a mile to
the west, another 1-1/10 miles to the
.southeast and another 1-5/10 miles to
the northeast. This would cover ter¬
ritory without any decrease in protec¬
tion and efficiency.
A modern municipal building on this
site would be a credit to our city; it
would have a tendency to inspire the
people on that side of the river to
construct new buildings; it would let
the people of the North Side know
that they are a part of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen, we can do several things
if we pass this resolution; we can if
we decide to accept the sketches and
estimates, put up a building that will
take care of all the activities men¬
tioned, and in addition, there are sev¬
eral bureau.s and divisions in this
building that might eventually go
over there. You might if you wish
and have the room, have a large
public meeting hall on the top floor
and above all you eliminate a building
that at present is an eyesore to the
people and put in its place a building
that will inspire the civic pride and
take care of the demands of the
present and for a long time in the
future.
Mr. MrArdio arose and said:
Mr. President, I just want to say
that I would not care to vote for
this resolution in its present form,
because I am not ready to commit
myself to the housing of the police
activities on the North Side that are
now located in the Public Safety Build¬
ing. I would be glad to bring up
some action for the development of
the building already proposed over
there, and I would like to have an
oi)portunity for the further develop^
ment of the projects mentioned in
Mr. Malone’s resolution, but would not
like to commit myself to them now,
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, there is nothing in
the resolution which would bind any
member of Council to the fact that he
is going to do this. This resolution
simply calls for sketches. I do not
even go so far as to call for the de¬
velopment of plans, because the pre¬
paration of plans takes time and
money. Our architect, with his knowl¬
edge, would be able to give us, within
a reasonable time, sketches of a
building to house the activities named
in the resolution, and an estimate of
the cost. There is nothing in the res¬
olution indicating that the City is go¬
ing to move all the police activities
over there. We agreed to turn over
the Public Safety Building to the
Philadelphia Company within a year,
and if we do not move quickly, we
will have no place into which to move
the activities now housed in the Pub¬
lic Safety Building.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, we have had several
conference with the Mayor and the
Director of the Department of Public
Safety and his bureau superintendents
relative to taking care of the activi¬
ties now housed in the Public Safety
Building ,and investigations have been
made as to whether these activities
could not be housed in a portion of
the County Jail, and Mr. Brennen, the
City Architect, was authorized to pre¬
pare plans for a combination police
station and engine house on the North
Side and also plans for the housing
of the Public Safety activities in the
Seventh Avenue Engine House. In
this connection several other things
were talked of and considered.
It seems to me that Mr. Malone**
resolution should properly go to com¬
mittee to be thrashed out. If the
argument he advances meets with the
approval of the people on the North
Side, that would be fine. I had a talk
with an infiuential man living on the
North Side and he suggested that In¬
stead of keeping the park adjoining
Boggs & Buhl’s in its present position
it he moved over to the site of the old
City Hall, and the proposed North
Side City Hall be built there. Thia
Would transform the property over
there and then you would have the
park in front of the North Side Car¬
negie Library and in front of the
344
OfTIce Building' and would he
surrounded by public buildiuKS, and
would not be used as a parking place
for automobiles.
Therefore, in view of the different
opinions regarding the use to which
the old City Hall property on the
North Side slunild be put to, and in
view of the fart that our architect is
preparing plans for a new central
police station. I believe it would be
host to refer this resolution to com¬
mittee where it can be thoroughly dis¬
cussed.
Mr. Mnlotic arose and said:
Mr. President, I have no objections
to referring this resolution to commit¬
tee for consideration.
Mr. Miiloiic moved
That the resolution be re¬
ferred to the Committee on Finance.
Which motion prevailed.
Also
No, 104 8. Whereas, the Mayor
and Council have agreed to sell the
Public Safety Building and other city
property on Sixth avenue and Cherry
way. and have also agreed to turn
over these properties to the purchaser
about May 1st, 1923; and
Whereas, to do this it will he neces¬
sary to move the Fire Alarm System
now located in the Public Safety
Building; and
Whereas, the time alloted for the
installation of a system after a con¬
tract is awarded is entirnated at from
ten (10) to fourteen (14) months; and
Whereas, the money is now’ avail¬
able for this contract; Therefore, be
it
Kesolved. That the Mayor and the
Idrector of the Department of Public
Safety be requested to advertise for
bids and award a contract for a new
Fire Alarm System to be installed in
the quarters set aside for same in the
City-County building.
Which was read.
Mr. Malone moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Mfilone arose and said:
Mr. president, that is in line with
the other resolution. My whole thought
Is to try to move this Are alarm sys¬
tem Into the new’ headquarters in the
City-County Building as .soon as poss¬
ible. W'e agreed in committee practic¬
ally three months ago to sell this
building to the Philadelphia Company
and nothing ha.s been done since to
move the fire alarm system now
housed in the Public Safety building
to this building. I believe* some ac¬
tion should be taken at once to in¬
stall the new’ fire alarm system. The
money is already provided for, and I
beUe^•e If it is going to take as long
a.s they claim it will to install it
they should get busy and have this
system installed before the expiration
of the time to move out of the Public
Safety Building.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, we are going to con¬
fer with the Mayor on this subject as
w’cll as other subjects, and it seems
to me that we ought to go into these
I conference with our hands untied and
use our judgment against that of the
engineer in charge of this work, and
this too might well be laid over and
discussed. We heard it discussed so
I many times and we heard so many
angles of it, that it is unnecessary
for me to go into details. We are
told that an electric storm might put
the service out of commission, and we
are told that the Installation of a new
system will be very expensive. It is
a proper subject for discussion in con¬
ference.
Mr, Maloiu* arose and said:
This subject, Mr. President, is en¬
tirely different than the subject con¬
tained in the resolution just read and
referred to committee. It is definitely
understood that the new fire alarm
office will be located in the City-
Ctjunty Building, and it is definitely
j understood that there is sufficient
moPey to pay for the apparatus, and
this resolution is merely a recommen¬
dation to the department to submit
ordinances to Council for authority
to purchase and install this system.
Mr. >l<*.\rdle arose and said:
Mr, President, as I under.stand the
.situation, thi.s resolution would be
merely a recommendation for action.
This does not give authority to do so
and so, but merely requests the prep¬
aration and presentation of a contract
ordinance to Council. This differs
from the other resolution; this system
must be moved and we have provided
the place for it. What w'c want now
is not to have it delayed by the De-
l)artment of Public Safety.
• I'he Chair said:
I might say that Mr. Mo.Vrdle ex¬
pressed my view. It is merely a
recommendation for action. We must
move the fire alarm system out of
the Public Safety Building, and I
therefore support the resolution.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. McArdle presented
No. 1049, Resolution request¬
ing the Mayor to return to Council,

Mr. Ilerroji moved
That the communication be
received and filed.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President! in connection with
that Communication, I wish to state
that the Committee on Public Service
and Surveys g^ranted a hearing to the
parties interested in the change or
grade on Pemberton street and noth¬
ing was accomplished. On last Fri¬
day morning a delegation of property
owner.s appeared at the Council Cham¬
ber, and I directed them to the May¬
or’s Office, where they had a con¬
ference with Director Finley and Mr.
Irons of the Daw Department.
Mr. Irons, who is here, said that It
will be a discredit on the City to
allow the present grade to stand. Our
’Chief Engineer, Mr. Reppert, and hir#
assistant, Mr. Reed, concur in Mr.
Irons' statement. It puts all the
property owners on one side down
18 inches, and the worst the new
grade will do is to make a cut of
6 inches on top of the hill. The engi¬
neers say that the ordinance to be
acted on by Council is the very best
grade that can be established on this
street.
As far as the contract for the im¬
provement of the street is concerned,
Mr Finley informed us that he will not
have to re-advertise for bids.
All the people on Pemberton street,
with the exception of two or three,
are in favor of the new grade. It is
a residential street and all the prop',
erty owners on it are intere.sted In
this matter.
I would suggest that Mr. Irons
give Council his judgment on this
matter.
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, Mr. Irons has just
handed me a letter and I will ask
the clerk to read same
No. 1128.
DEPARTMENT OF DAW
Pittsburgh, July 17, 1922.
Hon. Daniel Winters,
President of Council.
Dear Sir:
In the grading, paving, curb¬
ing and damage by grade of Pember¬
ton street from Wickshire street to
Wapello street, all the property own¬
ers except three abutting upon the
street have signed releases for the
change of the grade to conform more
closely to the natural surface grade
of the street, and the said property
owners have further agreed to pay
the additional cost incident to making
the change in the grade, which cost
is estimated at $800.00.
Under these circumstances ,the ordi¬
nance changing the grade on the
said street should be passed, as it
will eliminate the damages which
otherwise would affect the properly.
Very respectfully,
H. M. Irons,
Assistant City Solicitor.
Which was read.

Mr. MeArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I want to record my
opposition to the passage of Bill Noa.
913 and 604—Bill No. 913 being an
ordinance for the vacation of an
Unnamed way in the Fourth Ward,
and Bill No. 604, being an ordinaner
for the vacation of a portion of Valley
street between Forty-first street and
Almond way.
My objections are based upon the
fact that the vacation of the un¬
named way provides for no compensa¬
tion whatever to the City for the
proi>€rty involved in the acquisition of
this land by the private interests,
while our information from the De¬
partment of Assessors, and admitted
by a representative of the party inter¬
ested and who will profit by this vaca¬
tion, is that the property is valued at
$2.00 a square foot, or $3,680.00 for this
property. The same applies to the
vacation of Valley street except that
the valuation placed upon this prop¬
erty by the Department of Assessors
is $9,000.00 and this bill provides for
compensation to the City of $l,000.0e.
In my opinion it is $8,000.00 less
than what the City should receive for
Valley street and $3,680.00 the City
should receive for the Unnamed way
in the Fourth Ward, and I do not be¬
lieve it is either good business prac¬
tice or can hardly be justified to
vacate either one of these streets
without the City receiving the value
placed upon the properties by the
Department of A.sse.ssor3 and which
the representative.s of the parties In-
tore.sted admitted was proper.

Mr. President, when this Bloomfield
playground was up for consideration a
year ago 1 did not vote for it as 1
had made up my mind that the prop¬
er way for Council to proceed was to
apportion all the money for play¬
grounds so that we would have a com¬
plete program before making any pur¬
chases. I was unable to have a ma¬
jority of the Council agree with me on
this proposition of outlining a com¬
plete plan. Consequently you will re¬
call that I personally introduced an
ordinance setting aside the sum of
$81,(IU0.0(» for a playground in the pop¬
ulous Hill District, somewhere in the
vicinity of the Third and Fifth Wards.
This amount of $81,000.00 I obtained
from the report of the Citizens Com¬
mittee on City Plan.
I knew from experience that the
great center of population in the Hill
District should have better playground
facilities, and for that reason I deter¬
mined to do the best I could until
such time as a majority of Council
might adopt some complete plan.
The proponents of the Bloomfield
playground copied my suggestion in
this matter and introduced an ordi¬
nance setting aside a similar amount,
or $81,000.00, for a playground in the
Bloomfield district.
Over a year has elapsed and (J^ouncil
is still unable to agree on any com¬
plete plan for playgrounds. Conse¬
quently the only thing for me to do
is to approve or support any measures
which in my opinion are proper.
Today we find that we can purchase
this largo playground in the Bloom¬
field district for $70,000.00, which will
allow $11,000.00 for equipment, im¬
provements and developments of this
particular playground, and it will not
rob any other community of its propor¬
tionate share of the people’s bond
issue of 1911). In addition to that we
obtain 20,000 additional square feet
of ground worth $14,000.00, which was
not in the original proposal of last
year. It is a matter of record that
the Real Estate Board of Pittsburgh
appraised the ground offered last year
at $75,000.00. If we add the $14,000.00
value of the additional 20,000 square
feet to the $75,000.00 appraisal of the
Real Estate Board we have a total
value of $89,000.00 which the City
will obtain for $70,000.00.
I do not make this statement as an
apology for my vote, but merely for
the purpose of keeping the record
straight so that no one who comes
after us can honestly and sincerely
say that a matter in Council for a
year was a hasty and ill-considered
proposition, at least as far as 1 am
concerned.
I formerly held the opinion that
Council should not dicker over the
purchase price of land the city buys,
but should adopt condemn.ation pro¬
ceedings and have the courts and
juries determine values. However, con¬
demnation proceedings are really ex¬
pensive proceedings. I refer to the ver¬
dicts against the city in the purchase
of the Schlelein property on the North
Side, and the McCready property in
the Larimer avenue district. The
Council expected to obtain the Schlel¬
ein property, assessed at $8,1)00.00 for
a figure at or near the assessed value,
but the verdict in condemnation pro¬
ceedings was $19,000.00, an increase ot
$11,000.00. In the McCready purchase
the value of $27,000.00 was given to
Council by the people urging the pur¬
chase and Council set aside $30,000.00.
but the verdict in condemnation pro¬
ceedings was $51,000.00, or an excess
cost of $21,000.00. Just because a
court and jury acted in condemnation
proceedings is no reason or excuse
for the city to continue such extrava¬
gances. These recent experiences have
caused me to change my former faith
in condemnation proceedings as the
correct plan when the city wishes to
purchase property. The members of
CouncU as the elected representatives
of the people are just as competent
to fix values as judges and jurors.
In addition to the objection to con¬
demnation proceedings as being costly
extravagances, I have another ob¬
jection. Under the present laws of
the State of Pennsylvania, when the
city condemns and takes land for
specific purposes the City cannot use
such land for any other purpose, nor
can the city dispose of the land or
give a fee simple title. Such a handi¬
cap on the city is monstrous in my
opinion. 1 think we should ask the
Legislature to change that law and
make it possible for the city to have
the same right to dispose of its prop¬
erty as any citizen now has. In any
event the city should proceed very
carefully before entering into any
more condemnation proceedings until
the law is changed.
Perhaps the Citizens Committee on
City Plan may not approve all of the
playground or recreation measures
which meet with favor of a majority
of this Council. It is not expected
that every person will agree on every
subject coming before the city govern¬
ment for decision.
I would remind the members of
Council that on two or three occasions
when Council met with the Citizens
Committee on City Plan it was prac¬
tically the unanimous opinion of the
Citizens Committee on City Plan that we
should not provide for any swimming
pools in the people’s bond issue of IDl!).
I would also remind the member.? of
Council of the arguments put up by
myself, as well as other members of
Council, who favored swimming pools,
hut these arguments did not seem to
convince the members of the Citizens
Committee on City Plan, and they
still oppose the construction of swim¬
ming pools. However, notwithstanding
the opinion of the Citizens Committee
on City Plan, we inserted in the people’s
bond issue provisions for swimming
pools in Sheraden, Homewood, Woods
Run and the bath house in the Hill
District, to be located somewhere
near Wylie avenue and Fullerton
street. 1 think the completion of some
of these improvements have proven
that the members of Council who fav¬
ored swimming pools represented the
judgment of the people of Pittsburgh,
because all the pools which have been
opened have proven very popular; and
since that time Council has granted
the petition of the people of Mt. Wash¬
ington and of the Hill district, and
two more swimming pools are provided
for this year.
So 1 repeat, Mr. President, that we
cannot always expect the Citizens
Committee on City Plan or others to
agree on everything this legislative
body or any other body might do.
For example, the Citizens Committee
arc opposed to the purchase of the
Yard property on the South Side for
a playground. I expect to vote for
the purchase of the Yard property
because I think the people in that
community should have recreation
facilities. The Yard property is not
just what we would like it to be if
we could make playgrounds in a min¬
ute or without expense, but it is the
best available site in that section. I
do not refer to the Citizens Committee
on City Plan in disrespect, because 1
have agreed with moat of their plans
and suggestions. It is my purpo.se
and intention to continue to cooperate
with this committee, because they
have worked long and hard for the
general welfare and deserve the ut¬
most consideration. At the same time,
however, as a member of Council, I
must make my own decisions and I
cannot hope or expect to please every¬
body all the time.
There is one other matter in con¬
nection with this ordinance which re¬
quires clearing up as far as the
Municipal Record is concerned. It is
unfortunate that the President of
('ouncil is quoted as having made a
statement at the committee meeting
last week charging me with having
returned from vacation to vote for
this ordinance. 1 emphatically declare
that neither the President nor any
other member made such a statement
at the committee meeting last Tues¬
day. Perhaps it might be asking too
much to expect the President or any
other member to deny or repudiate
statements published in the news¬
papers, so I will not embarrass him
or any other member of Council by
asking him to repudiate the state¬
ment: l)ut I muvst place this challenge
in the record that the quotation in¬
tended to be that of the President
of Council (Mr. Wlnlers) was not de¬
livered in the committee session, be¬
cause had 1 heard such a statement i
would have resented it immediately.
1 do not refer to it now for the
purpose of starting a controversy,
but merely to keep the Municipal
Record clear of any misstatements
which appear in the newspapers. For
my part 1 have no objection to the
newspapers publishing whatever they
care to print about the city business,
because as public officials we must
expect newspapers to give the public
information and news whicli the news-
400
papers think should be given to the
public, but 1 am sure in this instance
a mistake, or perhaps an error, was
made in crediting statements to mem¬
bers of Council who did not make such
statements.

Mr. President, this bill for the wid¬

brought to our attention by the Law-

ment over it, for which the Board of

is proposed to settle direct with the

think it might be well, after the pass¬

called to the attention of the I..aw De¬
partment or the Department of Pub¬
lic Works, and they take it up with
the Mayor, and if that deal is to

from Charles K. Robinson, Special

have your decision as to whether we
should consent to this application or
not,
Yours respectfully,

Dear Mr. Martin:
Subject: Reorganization of the
Pittsburgh Railways Company,
The IMttsburgh Railways Co. has
filed a petition with the Public Serv¬
ice Commission, copy of which is en¬
closed for your information, seeking
to extend the time for the raising of
the five million dollars, and the re¬
organization of the Company, until
November, 1922, or later. The Public
Service Commission had heretofore
given its approval to the contract be¬
tween the City of Pittsburgh, and the
Railways Company, upon the condi¬
tion that the program of reorganiza¬
tion provided for therein, should be
effectuated before September 1, 1922.
According to the representations made
by the oft’icers of the Company and
the matters set forth in the petition,
it now appears that this will be im¬
possible. The Company, has, there¬
fore, asked for an extension of time
to Noveml)er 1st, or later. The City
of Pittsburgh should file an ap[)ropri-
ate answer to this petition, and 1
therefore transmit the same to you
that it may be laid before Council and
the Mayor, and appropriate authority
given to this department to file an
answer in behalf of the City.
It is to he regretted that after so
many moJith.s of negotiation and delay
in perfecting the reorganization and
rehabilitation of the Pittsburgh Rail¬
ways Co. that it now seems neces¬
sary to give an extension of time for
the reorganization. It however, ap¬
pears that the delay is due to refi¬
nancing. and the extraordinary com¬
plications of intercorporate relations,
and to existing financial obligations
which are such that the persons hav¬
ing in charge the reorganization, have
not been able to make satisfactory
arrangements with the necessary p«Tr-
ties to effect the reorganization before
September 1st. Under the circum¬
stances, I believe that the City would
be warranted in joining in the request
of the Company for an extension of
time to November 1st, 1922, and that
the City should also insist that every
possible step be taken to accomplish
the reorganization at the earliest pass¬
ible date,
Very truly yours,
(signed) Charles K. Robinson,
Siiecial Asst. City Solicitor.

PETITION
To the Public Service Commission of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
The petition of the Pittsburgh
Railways Company respectfully repre¬
sents:
1. That at the abov© number it
presented its application to the Com¬
mission for the approval of the above
mentioned contract with the City of
Pittsburgh, and after due hearing and
perusal thereof the Commission ap¬
proved the same on the 14th day of
February. 1922, stating “The Commis¬
sion fijids and determines that the
approval of the said contract is neces¬
sary and proper for the service, ac¬
commodation, convenience and safety
of the public, if the program to which
the ])artie.s are committed under and by
virtue of the contract is effectuated on
or prior to September 1st, 1922."

2. Your potUioiicr anti its associate,
the Philaclel])hia Company, have been
working dilif^ently to carry out the
matters and things provided for in the
contract, including: the reorganization
of the present street railway com¬
pany. the creation of a new. company,
and the raisin k‘ of Five million dollars
for the purpose of the new company,
all as provided in the said agreement.
2. That one of the first ste])s neces¬
sary in order to carry out the reor-
panizalion of the Pittsburgh Railways
Company is the acquisition of the out¬
standing (Jeneral Mortgage Bonds of
the Pittsburgh Railways Company.
Vour petitioner and its associate, after
lirolonged negotiations with groups of
liankers in Pittsburgh, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, finally
made an offer for the General Mort¬
gage bonds of the Pittsburgh Railways
Company which they thought was sat¬
isfactory to holders thereof, but a
sufficient number of the holders did
not accept the offer, and as a result
negotiations had to be started all over
again. In this way much time has
been consumed and many of the bonds
are still outstanding in the hands of
the original holders. It is thought
that possession cannot now be se¬
cured of these bonds before September
l.Mt. on account of the delay due to the
summer vacation season.
At the same time that work was
going on for the purpose of acquiring
the General Mortgage Bonds of the
Pittsburgh Railways Company, meet¬
ings were being held with the bankers
for the purpose of working out some
plan for the reorganization of the Pitts¬
burgh Railways Company system,
which would be practical and satis¬
factory to the holders of securities.
Many meetings and conferences have
been held on this branch of the work.
At the present time it appears that it
may be best to make, if possible, a
complete reorganization of the system,
rather than a partial reorganization
which would not affect the underlying
securities. Some of the persons most
actively interested in the affairs of
(he Company have made plans to be
away from their place of business a
large portion of the time between now
and September 1st, and it does not
seem that any plans can be perfected
In the next few weeks.
4. All municipalities in which the
street railway system is operated have
been given an opportunity to sign
agreements similar to the City of
FMttshurgh agreement and many of
them have signed similar agreements
and the contracts are now before the
Commission for approval. Negotia¬
tions are being conducted with many
municipalities at the present time,
but many of the municipalities will
still be undecided by September 1st
and this work will necessarily con¬
tinue.
5, Your petitioner, and its associ¬
ate, have used their very best efforts
to accomplish the ‘matters and things
necessary to make the said contract
effective as of September 1st, 1922,
but from causes entirely beyond their
control have been unable to do so.
For these reasons it would seem ad¬
visable that the effective date for the
completion of the preliminary program
provided in the said contract should
be extended to November 1st, 1922, or
later.
WHFREFOKE your petitioner prays
your Honorable Commission to amend
the previous order made in this case
by finding that the said contract is
necessary for the service, accomoda¬
tion, convenience and safety of the
public if the program to which the
parties are committed under and by
virtue of the contract is effectuated
on or prior to November 1st, 1922, or
such other and further relief as the
Commission may consider necessary in
the premises.

To the City Council:
I return without executive ap¬
proval Bill No, 1108, an ordinance au¬
thorizing the relocation of the Nine
Mile Trunk Sewer. This ordinance
was passed at the request of the Di¬
rector of the Department of Public
Works because he had been unable to
obtain the consent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and of the Borough of Wil-
kinsburg for its construction along
the route provided for in the previous
ordinance on the subject passed by |
your honorable body. Since the pa.ss-
age of Bill No. 1108, I am advised
that such consents have been obtained.
The first route is hy far the better
from every point of view and now
that the other parties have agreed to
it. Bill 1108 should not be enacted.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. Magee,
Mayor.

proceed with its original contract.
Which motion prevailed.

cost of makinpT available the property
of Mrs, Dallett on Sarah street, be¬

)>Ians and estimates shall contemplate

Which was read.
Mr. moved
The adrq)tion of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed.
iMr. Wliilers arose to a question of
pcr.sonal ]>rjvilegre, and said:
Mr. President, I will avail myself
of the privileg'e of saying a few words
at this time. I wish to apologize for
my delay in coming to this meeting,
.same was caused by my attendance
at a demfnistration at the Westing-
hou.se Electric and Manufacturing
Company, East Pittsburgh, to which 1
was invited as President of City Coun¬
cil. The Mayor of our City was also
invited, but could not atend, so 1
thought Pittsburgh .should be officially
represented. This was a very impor¬
tant event in the industrial history of
Pittsburgh and means a great deal to
the City of Pittsburgh and its indus¬
trial district.
Among other interesting things the
Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing
Company shipped a train of 33 cars
containing equipment for the electri¬
fication of the Chilean State Railways.
The utilization of wireless engineering
in starting the train marked an epoch
in the history of electrical science.
The start was accomplished by the
closing of a sw'itch on a pole near the
railroad track, which closed the elec¬
trical circuits, laid out by radio ex¬
perts and engineers, reacting on the
circuits in the locomotive and releas¬
ing the controller. This it is said is
the Arst time anything of that nature
has been done in the history of the
world.
The train measured inore 'than 1300
feet in length, and its cargo is valued
at ?75(,i,000.00.
The Chair Said;
Speaking for the members of Coun¬
cil, I am glad that you represented
the City of Pittsburgh in an official
capacity.
Mr. W'iiilerM said:
Mr. President, I understand that the
vote on the Dean playground ordi¬
nance was taken during my absence.
Had 1 been present when the vote was
taken. 1 would have voted NO for
.several reasons, many of which will
be found in the Municipal Record of
1021. It is not a desirable ground to
purchase for jilayground purposes. In
the course of time the City wdll, 1
am afraid, be compelled to spend ron-
sidcrable money for retaining walls.
A combined playgroujul and duini)
is not a good combination.
The matter of the dumping con¬
tracts with the com]>any has never
been reviewed. The Company liad
some contracts for dumping privileges
there, and nothing has been said
whether those contracts will he void
if the city purchases the property.
What the condition of those contracts
were or whether the City will assume
uncompleted contracts has not been
determined.
Council should certainly have with¬
held action until after the report
asked for from the Department of
413
"1
Assessors had been received. This re¬
port was to show the value of the
lillinS’ placed on the city streets arul
alleys belong-ing- to the city. I do not
believe anyone has a right to till in
the streets and alleys of the city, col¬
lect money for same, and then sell
them back to the city without any
consideration being given to the fact
that that d urn page was upon property
that did not belong to the Company,
1 am sure there should be some rebate
due the City.
For this and several other reasons
I do not care to indulge in, I would
have voted against the ordinance, and
for the reasons stated I would like to
be put on record as being opposed to
the purchase of the property.
President Winters at this time took
the Chair.
Mr, Herron moved
That the Clerk notify the Di-
rc(*tors of the several departments that
they have ready for presentation this
week any urgent legislation they will
re<iuiro before Council adjourns, for
after next Monday Council will ad¬
journ to meet only at the call of the
Chair.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Kohorison moved
That a special meeting- of
Council be called for Thursday, August
3rd, at 2 o’clock, P. M.
Which motion prevailed.
And on motion of Mr. Ciarland
Council adjourned.

City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,

FINANCE COMMITTEE
OF COUNCIL.
Gentlemen:—•
With reference to Bill No.
., being a resolution authoriz¬
ing and directing the Mayor to issue,
and the Controller to countersign, a
warrant in favor of the Friendship
Auto Supply Company, Inc., in the
sum of $450.00, for the purchase of a
triangular piece of ground at the
corner of Friendship avenue and Tor-
ley street, in the Ninth Ward, Pitts¬
burgh, we submit the following: —
This matter was presented to the
I.,aw Department through a commufti-
cation from Charles A. Finley, Director
of the Department of Public Works,
dated April 18, 1922, in which he
stated that it was desirable to ac¬
quire this property, and in which he
requested us to negotiate with the
owner, and submit the owner’s best
price, together with our recommen¬
dation.
The tract occupies a rather strateg¬
ic position at the intersection of
Friendship avenue and Torley street,
with a frontage of 24.09 feet on
Friendship avenue and 26.61 feet on
Torley street, with an area of 175
square feet, and, as we understand it,
the acquisition of this ground is de¬
sired for the purpo.se of benefiting
traffic conditions at that point.
The present owner is the Friendship
Auto Supply Company, Inc., a Penn.syl-
vania corporation, of which one,
Thomas R. Lloyd is president. The
asking price in the first instance was
^600.00, but after considerable nego¬
tiations with Mr. Lloyd and his coun- 1
sel, a price of $450.00 was verbally j
submitted as the owner’s best price, i
and we so advised Director Finley, j
While we believe that $450,00 is I
more that the actual market value of |
the property, we are .however, of the |
opinion that it would be more desir- .
able to accept this offer than that the ;
City should be put to the expense of
condemnation proceedings, which
would doubtless in the end entail a
greater expense. j
We are handing you herewith the |
correspondence submitted to us with I
Director Finley’s letter of reference i
of April 18, 1922, together with blue !
print showing the location and dimen- j
sions of the property proposed to be
procured. j
Yours truly, |
Richard W. Martin I
City Solicitor. i

I resident and Members of Council,
City of Pittsburgh.
Cell (i<“men:—
Replying to your motion of
July 31, 1922, relative to Bill No.
li9,S. an Ordinance authorizing the re¬
location of Nine Mile Hun Trunk Sew¬
er and rcquestiiig that the Director
of the 1 'epartment of Public Works
advise Council regarding the change
of attitude of the Pennsylvania Rail¬
road in this matter,
I am unable to furnish any advice
'Ui t’n<^ change of attitude of the Penn¬
sylvania Railroad other than to recite
the history of the case. The repre¬
sentatives of the Pennsylvania Rail¬
road declined to construct the neces¬
sary sewer on the original location,
which location was not in the natural
water course. Upon the passage of an
ordinance by the City, upon the recom¬
mendation of this Department, chang¬
ing the sew'er to the natural w'ater
course. the Pennsylvania Railroad
changed its attitude and offered to
construct the sewer in its original
location.
The construction of this sewer in-
I volves three interests, viz: the City of
Pittsburgh, the Pennsylvania Railroad
I and the Borough of Wilkinsburg. The
I original location is believed to best
I serve the joint interests of all three,
and it was therefore deemed advisable,
in view of the change of attitude of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, to return
to the original location.
Your very truly,
Chas. A. Finley,
Director.

City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
August 11th, 1022.
TO THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PITTSBURGH:
Malone
McArdle
Robertson
Winters (Fres.)
for a great many years, to pay to the
carpenters in its employ the same rate
of wages that the employing interests
of the City of Pittsburgh are paying
to the men that are employed in pri-
enterprises.
In connection with the Mayor's ob¬
jections, I just want to point out that
it does not seem to me to have any
weight. The effect of the passage of
the bill might be to deplete the ap¬
propriations a little earlier than they
would otherwise be depleted; but
there is no obligation on the part of
any department to continue these men
beyond the time when the appropria¬
tion runs out.
This is by no means the first time
that an increase has been granted to
employees under the current union
rate during the progress of the fiscal
year, and which resulted, of course,
in an earlier depletion of the appro¬
priation set up for this class of serv¬
ice, this can be met this time by cur¬
tailing in some degree the number of
days of service, unless Council in the
meantime provides additional funds;
so I do not feel that any serious
weight can be attached to the objec¬
tions outlined in the Alayor’s message.
Mr. Aiiilersoii arose and said:
I return, without approval.
Bill No. 1195, an Ordinance increasing
the wages of the carpenters in the
employ of the City of Pittsburgh, for
the reason that your honorable body
has made no provision for the pay¬
ment of such increase.
Yours truly,
W. A. Magee,
Mayor.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also
Bill No. 1195. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance fixing the
wages of all carpenters employed by
the City of Pittsburgh.”
In Council, August 3rd, 1922, Rule
suspended, bill read three times and
finally passed.
Which was read.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
become a law notwithstanding the
objections of the Mayor?”
Mr, WcAnlic arose and said:
Mr. President, I think it well to say
just a word in connection with this
bill. The intent, purpose and effect
of this bill will be to provide that the
City shall do what it has been doing 1
Mr. TTesident, it is my intention to
1 > r e s e n t a resolution transferring
money from the Contingent Fund or
some other fund to pay this extra
money to the carpenters jn the service
of the City.
I think there are 24 or 25 carpenters
employed by the City. I do not want
the members of Council to lose sight
of the fact that the carpenter’s wages
were reduced $2.00 per day last year,
and the City received the benefit of
that reduction. The wages of carpen¬
ters were increased last May from
$8.00 to $9.00, and the carpenters in
the city service have been working
since that time on the old scale.
I do not think Council will have
much trouble in providing the extra
amount of money required to meet the
increase provided for in this ordi¬
nance.. The City should provide as
good a wage as private corporations
who are employing the same class of
service.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the bill become a law notwithstand¬
ing the objections of the Mayor?”
The ayes and noes w'ere taken
agrecal)ly to law, and were:
450
Ayes—Messrs.
Anderson
Borland
Garland
Herron
Ayes—8.
Noes—None.
And there being: two-thirds of the
votes of council in the affirmative,
the bill became a law notwithstand¬

Which was read.
Mr. 3IcArdIe moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Mnloiie presented
No. 1355. Whereas, From April
to September, 1922, practically no coal
was produced on account of labor dis¬
putes between the Operators and Min-
lers; and
Whereas, The above months are
usually the times that coal is mined
for Winter supplies, especially' for
large corporations, the lake trade and
domestic use; and
Whereas, Notwithstanding that the
Operators and Miners have settled
their differences, and the mines are
now working and producing coal, the
shortage caused by the mines being
closed during the above period can¬
not be made up during the next two
or three months; and
Whereas, The large buyers of coal,
such as the manufacturing companies,
the purchasing agents for the dis¬
tributing companies in the Great
Northwest and other big consumers
will be in the market taking all the
coal they can secure, leaving the
amount of coal for the retail trade
much below its requirements, and at
a price that will he a hardship on the
ultimate consumer; and
Whereas, Even though the mines
may produce sufficient coal for all
during the next three or four months,
the present railroad trouble, and the
condition of. coal cars and service,
raises the serious question as to
transportation between mine and point
of use; and
Whereas, The situation is such that
if coal can be secured (which is the
first consideration) it will probably
be at an exorbitant cost; and
Whereas, The City of Pittsburgh
has the authority to purchase, store
and sell coal at cost to the residents
of this City, under Bill No. 369, P.
Ij. 1017, which is a supplement to the
Act governing the City of Pittsburgh;
and
Whereas, The present is the time
to prepare for a critical situation, and
so that our citizens will not suffer
from a shortage of coal and so that
they may purchase coal at a fair
price; Therefore, he it
Resolved, That the Mayor certify
that an emergency exists and that
Council appropriate a sufficient sum
of money to purchase coal for tho
purpose of sellingsame to the residents
of the City of Pittsburgh at a price
that will be as near as possible to
the actual cost of purchase, storage
and disposal.

MAYOR-S OFFICE
Pittsburgh, September 23rd, 1922.
To the City Council.
I beg to notify your Honor¬

of Assembly I have appointed as mem¬
bers of the Art Commission of the
City of Pittsburgh the following per¬
rons:
E. B. Lee, Wm. Boyd, Frederick
Bigger, architects; John W. Beatty,

No. 1454.
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.,
September 22nd, 1922.
TO the city COUNCIL:
I return herewith without ap¬
proval, Bill No. 1201, a resolution au¬
thorizing the issuance of a warrant in
favor of W. B. Richart in the sum
of $400.00, to compensate said W. B.
Richart for the repair of an automo¬
bile damaged while carrying three
police officers upon an alleged emer¬
gency call.
The circumstances of the injury to
the car are fully set forth in the
(tplnion of the City Solicitor. The in¬
vestigation of the Law Department, as
teporuTi to Your Honorable Body in¬
dicates tliat the officers who were
using the car with the owner were in-
texioat ed. That also was the finding
cf the Police Trial Board when the
incident was investigated officially.
The weight of the evidence is to the
effect that the automobile was not
being used for an emergency call, but,
on the contrary, the persons in it, in¬
cluding the owner were “Joy riding.”
Your attention should be called to the
discrepancy between the recital in the
resolution and the report of the Law
Department. According to the latter,
the wreck happened upon the return
journey. All the officers involved in
this affair were dismissed from the
Police force as a result of their es¬
capade, Assuming that the owner and
driver of the car was himself not
under the influence of liquor, it is im¬
possible that he should not have
known the condition of the policemen.
My own opinion is that all the per¬
son.^* in the car were equally culpable
and responsible for their own misfor¬
tunes.
Respectfully submitted,
W, A. Magee,.
Mayor.

Bill No. 1291. Resolution au¬

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE
Pitt.shurgh, Pennsylvania
Division of Mails,
Office of Superintendent
First Glass
September 22, 1922.
Mr, Robert Clark,
Asst. City Clerk,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
My dear Sir:
1 wish to thank you for your
letter of the 21st instant, in which
you call attention to the ordinances
pending regarding change of street
names, and requesting an expression
from me concerning the same.
I am only too glad to have this op¬
portunity, as the problem presented is
a very serious one from a postal
standpoint. As you are aware, the
Pittsburgh Postal District embraces
a large area outside the corpora^te
limits. Not only are the street names
duplicated, but in some instances the
street numbers are also duplicated,
which presents a difficult problem for
the distributors, unless the station dis¬
trict of delivery is indicated as a part
of the address. However, the station
or local district is frequently omitted
and the mail is often delayed before
reaching the addressee. For illustra¬
tion, the following thoroughfares are
listed under “Locust St." and “Walnut
St." in our scheme of distribution:
Thoroughfare
Locust Street
Walnut Street
Station of
Delivery
Bellevue
Mt. Oliver
Sharpsburg
Swissvale
Uptown
Bellevue
Grafton
East Liberty
Mt. Oliver
Shari)sburg
Swissvale
Wilkinsburg
The name of “Oakwood” at present
.appears in three station districts but,
of course, the only one in the cor¬
porate limits of the City is the one
in the Thirteenth Ward. While it is
difficult to control the duplication of
street names in the boroughs and
townships, owing to the fact that
there is no central authority to cover
a matter of this kind, there is, in
my opinion, no excuse for such dupli¬
cation in the area embraced within the
corporate limits of the City. There¬
fore, as administrative head of the
Pittsburgh Postal District, I most em¬
phatically protest against duplicatio:i
in street names.
The progress of a city is dependent
in a l.argc measure upon the character
of postal service received, and efficient
service can not be given when there
is a continual duplication of street
names. I only hope that the bor¬
oughs and townships will soon co¬
operate so that this condition may be
removed or reduced to a minimum.
I trust that I have made the matter
clear to you and that the objection of
this office will receive proper consid-
cnitioii by the City Council.
Sincerely yours,
CfEO W. GOSSER.
Postmaster.

MOTIONS AND RE-SOLUTIONS
Mr. Malone presented
No. 1461. Whereas, The West¬
ern Pennsylvania Institute for the
Blind is located at the corner of Belle-
ftfild avenue and Bayard street; and
Whereas, Both streets are practi¬
cally level, paved with asphalt and
traversed by large numbers of fast
moving motor cars: and
Whereas, The . Institute has over
one hundred blind students, a num¬
ber of teachers, officials and employees
who at times find it necessary to
(TOSS one or both of the above named
.-treets, sometimes unattended; and
A*’‘herea.'::, The straight, level, smooth¬
ly paved streets have a tendency to
induce drivers of motor cars to go
fast making it very dangerous for
theje blind people to cross; and
Whereas, Many drivers would not
go so fast if they knew of the danger
to the blind, and so that the possi¬
bility of accidents shall be reduced to
a minimum; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Safety be re¬
quested to secure a sufficient number
of signs, calling the attention of
drivers to the fact that they are near¬
ing the Blind Institute and asking
them to drive slowly and carefully,
the signs to be placed about 150 feet
apart on Bellefield avenue between
Centre avenue and Fifth avenue and
on Bayard street between Craig street
and Bigelow boulevard; and, be it
further
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Safety also in¬
vestigate the traffic conditions in the
vicinity of the Workshop for the
Blind on Second avenue near Grant
street, and if any danger is found to
the inmates of the Workshop to cor¬
rect same.
Which was read.
Mr. Miiloiie moved
The adoption of the resolution.
W'hich motion prevailed.
No, 1462. Whereas, The City
of Pittsburgh operates and maintains
at Schenley Park an eighteen hole
golf course and buildings for the ac¬
commodation of the public; and
Whereas, The course is extremely
popular with the public, due to its lo¬
cation, and parti< 5 ularly due to the
fact that golf has and is attracting
thousands of additional players each
year, the Schenley course is over¬
crowded and the buildings are inade¬
quate to accommodate those who play;
and
Whereas, There are only 343 lock¬
ers in all, 303 for men and 40 for
women; each locker accomodating two
persons, or a total of 606 men and
80 women; and
Whereas, Over three thousand per¬
sons hold permits, leaving nearly
twenty-five hundred persons who can¬
not have use of a locker, a place to
check their baggage, or the privilege
of a shower bath; and
Whereas, There is no place for
players who do not have lockers to

check their bags, except at a small
restaurant, and as this place is not
adequate to care for all who desire
a lunch or meal, thereby making it
less adequate to take care of the
checking; and
Whereas, The buildings in which
the lockers used by men are located,
there are eight shower baths, while
the locker building used by women
has none; and
Whereas, The persons who play at
Schenley reside in all parts of the
City; and
Whereas, The City owns several
large parks or plots of ground in
various parts of Pittsburgh, such as
Highland, Riverview, McKinley and
Olympia Parks; and
Whereas, It may be possible to lay
out a course or courses of smaller
size than the Schenley course at one
or more of these parks, thereby re¬
lieving the congestion at Schenley,
and taking care of the future; and
Whereas, The revenue received from
the persons who hold permits to play
at Schenley Park leaves a net profit
of over $10,000.00 per year, and this
could be increased by additional facili¬
ties to take care of the players in a
proper manner; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Works have a
survey made of the buildings at Schen¬
ley Park, and report to Council the
cost of installation of shower baths
in the women’s locker building, better
checking facilities and larger restaur¬
ant room; and, be it further
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Works furnish
Council with an estimate of the cost
for the erection of a new building at
Schenley Park of sufficient size to
take care of at least fifteen hundred
new lockers, the necessary number of
shower baths, in both the women and
men's locker rooms, a check room,
restaurant and repair shop large
enough to acomodate the public; And,
be it further
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Works have a
survey made of Highland, McKinley,
Riverview and Olympia Parks, and
other large plots owned by the City,
and report to Council the possibility
of laying out an additional golf course
at one or more of the above mentioned
places, or any other location; And, be
it further.
Resolved, That the Director of the
Department of Public Works furni.sh
the information requested as quickly
as possible, so that any recommenda¬
tions made can be acted upon prior to
the passing of the appropriation ordi¬
nance for 1923.
Which was read.

Also
Bill No. 1291. Resolution au¬

turned by the Mayor without approval,
and laid over for one week.
Which was read.
And on the question, “Shall the reso¬
lution become a law notwithstanding
the objections of the Mayor?”
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, there is just as much
justification for passing this bill now
as originally. We do not deny the
fact that the. owner of this car was
in a restaurant and three policemen
came in and inquired who the owner
of the car was, and when they found
out Mr. Richart was the owner they
commanded him to drive them in his
car, and he drove them to the end
of the Washington Boulevard and on
their return they insisted upon him
going faster, with the result, as you
know, the car was wrecked. The
three policeman have since been dis¬
missed from the police department on
the charge of conduct unbecoming an
officer, and in the dismissal of these
three officers it was insinuated that
the driver might not have been al¬
together sober. Mr. Richart denies
that he was under the influence of
liquor and we have a right to believe
It.
His oar was commandeered by the
three police officers and the officers
on account of their conduct have been
discharged, and this man has been
notified that he might seek hi.s relief
in suing the policemen.
If we are going to make it safe
for those who own machines and have
them respect the proper authorities of
our city, we should stand behind this
man and compensate him for the
damage done his machine. If we fail
to pay this man, the next man who is
asked to haul our police officers will
feel Justified in refusing to do so.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the resolution become a law notwith¬
standing the objections of the Mayor?”

Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, on this particu¬
lar bill, which authorizes the employ¬
ment of an efficiency engineer at a
salary of $6,000.00 per year, I just
w'ant to call your attention to the fact
that the arguments that were made
In behalf of having this bill approved
is the fact that the money was set up
In the budget for efficiency service
at the beginning of the year. We are
now entering upon the tenth month of
the year without any particular ef¬
fort having been made to appoint an
efficiency man.
When the $10,000,00 efficiency, fund
was set up, it w'as my impression that
the amount w'as to be disbursed for
expert advice on any particular mat¬
ter that might come up; whereas, the
hill before us authorizes a new posi¬
tion, which if placed on the record
and finally passed, will be there next
year and the year after until it might
be repealed. Even if we did not set up
the money next year or the following
year, it would not repeal the ordin¬
ance and the position would still be
in existence.
I do not overlook the good results
accomplished by receiving advice on
any particular subject, but this is
merely making a new position, pay¬
ing $6,000.00, a year if this bill is
passed.
Chairman Winters called Mr, Bor¬
land to the Chair, and taking the
Floor, said:
Mr. President, as I intend to
vote against this ordinance for the ef¬
ficiency engineer, I want to voice some
of my reasons for objecting, I find
on the back of this ordinance this no¬
tation: “On the 12th day of the 9th
month, 1922, Mr. Borland moved to
lay over this ordinance until the Fi¬
nance Committee has been informed as
to the Mayor's view’s on the duties of
the contemplated efficiency engineer.”
The motion stated that the informa¬
tion is as to what he is expected to
do and what he expects to accom¬
plish. When this motion was made it
was unanimously adopted by Council,
stating that it was the view of Coun¬
cil that such information was proper
and that Council'was entitled to know
the reasons for the creation of the
position and what was be accom¬
plished.
Now, nearly a month later, the or¬
dinance is suddenly called up and
passed without the answer or without
a word of the information that Coun¬
cil has asked for and had taken as its
reason for failure to act on the ordi¬
nance. I do not believe that Council
should act blindly on matters of this
kind and forsake the request for in¬
formation, which I believe could have
have been and should have been given.
It seems to me to have developed
here that at least one or two mem¬
bers of Council have talked privately
to the Mayor on this subject. I do not
believe that is the proper way to in¬
fluence action of the Council. All of
the members of Council are entitled
to information and it should be given
in a w’ritten communication in the
proper way, to he made a matter of
record.
It is true that money set up ip the
budget of last December for an in¬
definite proposition, which was, as I
recall it, made for the purpose of ef¬
ficiency investigations from time to
time and not for a permanent place
f ■
495
If this bin, in my judg'ment, was a
bill that was intended only to create
an additional position on the city
payroll and that no good would come
of it equal to its cost to the city, I
most certainly would not support it.
But it does seem to me, without at¬
tempting* to definitely place the
responsibility there is pressing need
for somebody connected with the City
Government who can go out and put
his fingers on these conditions and
bring back to some responsible oificer
in government a remedy.
on the payroll. If the place was of
such importance as has been suggest¬
ed here, I am at a Ipss to understand
why the delay of nine months to fill
same*
Mr, has said" that if the
place is created at this time it can
be. changed at budget time. We are
beginning preparations for the budget
now at this time and' I feel sure there
is not enough time left between this
and the completion of the same to
demonstrate the necessity or lack of
necessity of a permanent position. I
am a little adverse to putting new po¬
sitions on the payroll so late in the
year because of the reductions in wag-
es; and positions that were made for
this year’s budget, and the policy that
was to apply for this. ye^r.
The administration may be in need
of an efficiency engineer, and if they
are, they have good reasons and those
reasons should be supplied to the
legislative branch of the city govern¬
ment as long as any of the members
wan't such information and are in
need of it, and said Information might
cause them to change their opinion.
The administra4^ive branch of the
City Government ought to be well
equipped to take care of its responsi¬
bilities. The Mayor is regarded; as an
expert on municipal affairs. He has
at the. head, of the Department of Pub¬
lic Safety, in Director McCandless, a
businessman of high standing in the
community, who is said to possess
convictions and. courage. The Health
Department is in the hands of Director
Vaux, who at the time of his appoint¬
ment, was. President of the Allegheny
County Medical Society, The Law De¬
partment is presided over by Richard
W. Martin, who is highly regarded as a
lawyer. The Department of Public
Works is under the direction of
Charles A, Finley, who has been as¬
sociated with the department for a
long term of years.
These men should be highly quali¬
fied to administer the duties of their
department if an efficiency should
be. denied.
Mr. McArrtle arose and said:
At this time President Winiers re¬
sumed the chair.
Mr, President, I had hoped
that we might go through this meet¬
ing without any undue delays because
of the meeting that is to follow, and
without discussing any measure that-
might come up for final passage; but
I feel it encumbent to say a word
or two about this particular bill.
Now, I am impelled to say that be¬
cause of the fact that I presented my¬
self an ordinance to this body to cor¬
rect some of the things that I believe
an efficiency engineer would soon dis¬
cover and that he would not have to
be entitled to too great credit on his
efficiency either. That bill was pre¬
sented to Council and went to com¬
mittee. It was not acted upon de-
.spite the fact that it dealt with a sub¬
ject that every member of Council I
believe is familiar with, and was la^id
over for the purpose of finding out
what the Mayor and the Director of
the Department of Public Works
thought about it. X do not know what
they think about it. My judgment Is
that neither of them will have much
information upon which to base an
opinion unless they take the state¬
ment from the person who is respon¬
sible for the positions being created.
I do not guess or opine, but I know,
that conditions in some of the de¬
partments of our city government are
absolutely rotten, and in contraven¬
tion to the best interests of the City,
and I believe that these conditions
would be developed and brought to
the attention of the Mayor and the
Director of the various departments,
and because of the manner in which
they were brought they would be
weighed tor their worth and not cast
aside as many other things are cast
aside with the mere declaration that
they were encouraged or impelled by
some private or political aniomsity.
Now, we may eulogize to whatever
extent we may desire the heads of
our various departments, and I shall
not find anything more pleasing than
what has been said, because I share
largely in those opinions, but 1 am
not unmindful of the fact that it is
beyond the possibilities of any in¬
dividual in these departments to go
in minutely into all the ramifications
of all these departments over which
these men hold jurisdiction, and they
must in a greater, or less degree de¬
pend upon somebody else’s judgement.
406
You may sscy Hhat it will -gret back
to the same thing in accepting this
man’s judgment, but this man will be
under the Mayor and responsible to
him, and every Director of a depart¬
ment is responsible to the same head,
and it will be up to them to ‘harmon¬
ize any divergent views that .may de¬
velop and it will be up to the Mayor
to satisfy Council on any points that
Council sees fit to raise questions
about.
I want to say that so far as I am
(Concerned there are some things in
the departments of the city that I
want to see eradicated, because I know
they are rotten.
I do not believe that the present
administration is responsible for these
things, but I do believe it is respon¬
sible in some measure for their con¬
tinuance. I believe some of them
ought to have been discovered before
now and changed.
This was a part of the program
agreed upon last year between the
Council and the Mayor. I want to
give to the head of this administra¬
tion an opportunity to delve into his
departments and express to Council
what he finds there and what he be¬
lieves to be the remedy and not deny
to Council the right to pass its judg¬
ment in its own good time on what
he finds and recommends.
Mr. Borland arose and said:
Mr. President, I made the mo¬
tion that the ordinance he laid on
the table in committee until we got
further information from the Mayor,
and I do not believe the ordinance
should have been acted on until we
received that information. The May¬
or seems to ignore our request upon
this subject, and I am going to op¬
pose the ordinance for that reason.
Mr. Mnlone arose and said:
Mr. President, just one more
word. Many of the statements made |
by Mr. McArdle are correct with ref- j
erence to delving into the depart- ‘
ments. Last week I made a motion
that the Director of the Department
of Public Safety furnish us a report
as to the number of men in the Fire
Department, the number of vacancies
existing at this time and how long
the vacancies have existed. Any mem¬
ber of Council has the right to ask
for that information.
1 might state at this time that “I
had the privilege and pleasure of serv¬
ing the people of Pittsburgh as .the
Director of the Department of Sup¬
plies. This is one of the smaller de¬
partments of the city government, but
it is just as important as any other
branch of the city service. On ac¬
count lof the small number of men
under this department, don’t :let any¬
body get the impression that it is not
an important cog in the wheel of this
government. No matter how large or
;smaU .a department might be, don’t
avetlook the fact that the Direct or
has not all the facilities at his com¬
mand to delve into any subject,
whether it be the expenditure of
money or anything else, that might
come under his jurisdiction, and make
reports upon It.
If you install this gentleman he 'Will
have to go into all the departments,
and if the director cannot find the
proper kind of information desired
then the efficiency engineer will never
reach the end.
Have we not seen thousands of dol¬
lars spent for expert advice by a
former mayor, and advice of which
no use was made.
When the |10,000 efficiency fund
was set up, it was my impression
that the amount was to be disbursed
for expert advice on matters that
might arise.
If the Mayor is honest in his de¬
termination to give a wise and eco¬
nomical administration he has 'now
at his disposal all the tools neces¬
sary to accomplish It and we need
not give him more positions.

October 9th, 1922.
To the members of the City Council;
1 am remiss in not having notified
the Council of the action of the
Prison Board on last Monday, October
2nd. with reference to the City’s re-
quebi for the use of part of the Jail
for a Central Police Station. The
Prison Board at its meeting in Sep¬
tember appointed a committee of which
1 was a member, to investigate and
make a report to the . board. The
report of the committee was that, un¬
less the summary conviction cases
were removed from the Jail to the
W'orkhouse and unless the number
of liquor violations would decrease,
the management of the Jail could not
afford to take the risk of eliminat¬
ing the 120 cells now in the south
wing. The meeting of the Prison
Board contained a bare quorum and
the oisrussion that arose about the
poluy of summary convictions rather
trended toward a policy of maintaining
short term prisoners in the jail rather
th.an moving them to the Workhouse
and because of the cost of additional
keepers and the transportation
charges. The opinion was also ex¬
pressed, and not seriously converted,
mat the liquor cases would probably
continue to increase rather than de¬
crease or even remain stationary. This
last opinion is based upon the violent
rise of prisoners since 1920. In that
year there were 7500. In 1921 there
were 10,200 and, from present appear¬
ances, 1922 will have 12,000. The
Warden is of the opinion that in a
v>r two more there will probably
be 15,000 which number is the high
watt'r mark m the prison’s history,
namely, the year 1918, the last '»'ear
before prohibition.
Secondly, the judges were concerned
about the Act of 1921, which requires
every prison to maintain a place for
the examination and another place
tor the treatment of contagious dis¬
eases inside the prison.
Third, the County Architect did not
fail to remind the Board that the
south wall of the Jail is now extend¬
ed over the Diamond street line. One
of the judges said that he thought
the wall should not only be taken
down to the street line but that safe¬
ty and convenience would justify the
widening of Diamond street at that
point to make the street even wider
still.
Between it all the committee made
an adverse report to the City’s re¬
quest w'hich report was adopted by
the Prison Board.
I must, therefore, urge further con¬
sideration of this subject.
Yours truly,
W, A. MAGFE.
Which was read and, on motion of
Mr. Garland, received and filed.

No. 1556.
City of Pittsburgh, Penna.
October 6th, 1922.
To the City Council:
I return, without approval, Bill
No. 1446, authorizing a warrant for
193.54, in payment of the claim of a
patrolman, for attending the National
Encampment of Veterans of Foreign
Wars at Seattle, Washington. Not¬
withstanding the recommendation of
the Department of Public Safety that
the claim be paid and the permission
given the officer by the Finance Com¬
mittee to attend the convention, I do
not agree that the claim is a lawful
one. The same principle is involved
as in all the other resolutions which
I have disagreed with the City Coun¬
cil about, namely, that the subject
matter does not come within the
class of municipal purposes for which,
and for which only, the funds of the
City may be legally expended.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A. MAGEE.
Mayor.
Which was read.
Mr. Herron moved
That the communication be
laid over for one week.
Which motion did not ])reyail.

of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at
Seattle, Wash., and charging same to

reau of Police.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES,
Mr. Garland presented
No. 1557. Report of the Com¬
mittee on Finance for October 3, 1922,
transmitting sundry ordinances and
resolutions to council.
Which was read, received and filed.

dation

entitled, "An Ordinance providing for
the appointment of six captains in
the Bureau of Police, Department of
Public Safety, and fixing the salary
therefor.”
Which was read.
Mr. Garland moved
A suspension of the rule to
i allow the second and third readings
I and final passage of the bill.
I Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a second time.
Mr. Anderson arose and said:
Mr. President, the members of
Council are acquainted with the fact
that this Council reduced the wages
of each and every employe of the
City this year. The Council and the
various heads of the departments
were instrumental in a plan to econo¬
mize and as a result of this program
practically every city employe suffered a
reduction in salary during the year
1922. However, the ffrst ordinance
that came from the Department of
Public Safety was for the creation
of six new positions in the Bureau
of Police, and that is the ordinance
before u.s now.
I would like to remind the mem-
j bers of Council that sometime dur¬
ing the budget se.ssion I proposed to
make a motion to restore the salary
of the men and women in the city
service to what it was in 1921.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, 1 would like
to know whether there is a compan¬
ion bill presented today along the
line of the argument presented by the
Mayor last Tuesday in committee
j meeting.
The Chair said:
I know of none,
i Mr. Malone said:
j I would like to know from the
I Clerk whether there was a compan-
i ion bill presented today reducing the
508
number of Heutenants in the Police
Department, as the Mayor said last
week that such a reduction would
take place.
The Clerk (Mr. jUartin) said:
No, sir; there was no such
bill introduced.
Mr. Malone said:
Mr. President, I have no ob¬
jection to this bill; I may vote for it
if there is going to be a reorganiza¬
tion of the police department along
the line the Mayor spoke last week
in committee. I want it understood
that I am not going to stand in the
way of that program being put into
operation.
However, the Mayor, when the bill
was approved, said it was the inten¬
tion of the administration to promote
six lieutenants to these places, and
that a bill would be introduced re¬
ducing the number of lieutenants. If
you will permit your minds to go
back to the Priday previous when the
Director of the Department of Public
Safety aj^peaied before Council and
thi.-j matter was taken up informally
and he asked to talk about it, you
vdll recall that in the course of his
talk and conversation he very em¬
phatically denied that he intended
to reduce the number of employees
in the police department. So we have
two different statements as to what
is to happen to the number of men
In the police department if this or¬
dinance becomes effective. I do not
care "whether the administration in¬
tends to reduce the number of police¬
men or lieutenants; but I do believe
that ordinance reducing the number
of '*inr*oyees should be before Coun¬
cil before we pass finally upon this
ordinance, and if it is not out of or¬
der. 1 would like to make a motion
that we postpone action on this hill
until wo receive definite information
a.s to what the plans of the adminis-
traiioii are. If the Mayor intends
to do as he agreed I should not say
that, but as he inferred, then action
sl-oulJ be postponed until the com¬
panion ordinance is presented to Coun¬
cil
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I would like to
correct what I think is an error in
Mr. Mulone*M statement, so far as the
Mayor’s declarrt on is concer?ied. It
\ȣis I Who made the suggestion that
th^B bill now before us could iiot bo
amended rc. n.cet the conditions M’g-
by the Mayor, and to that he
iiayor raised the objection becaa.‘je he
su:d be would not permit the vacar.-
that we'e created by the liro-
irotion of the lieutenants to be tilled,
and therefore thej>- would be no ne-
oc.v.-, Jy pending the time when per-
hj«.j ** a new saia/v bill passed n.fter
the budget wav; made up to pa.ss an
an. ending ordinance to the ox hating
.salary bill, and the city would be
.spared the expense of printing and
advertising the bill. So it was not
the Mayor’s suggef-lion.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. MeArdle is right. I later
said that the Mayor did not agree to
ha\tj a companion <Tdinance in.
The Chair said:
1 really do not think there ha
any necessity for the motion.

And the rule having been suspend¬
ed, the resolution was read a second
time.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I still object
to this manner of paying these claims.
My objection is based on the same ob¬
jection which I have urged from the
beginning; that is, this, that under
the charter ordinance and other Acts
of Assembly the City of Pittsburgh is
restricted and limited in the manner
and nnibcd of making appropriations
fro:n the City Treasury. In the mat¬
ter of salaries and in the matter of
appropriations, the Mayor is given
peculiar power, vested in him alone,
and when the Mayor vetoes an ordi-
iance v'hich was done with this par¬
ticular proposition two years ago, the i
only way under the law to get over
that veto is to have six votes in
Council to override the veto. That j
was not done. |
We have had two lawsuits in con- !
nection' with this, and I regret very i
much to be compelled to stand here j
in public and say that in my opinion
the rules of procedure in connection
Avith the court procedure are not a
credit to the City of Pittsburgh, the
County of Allegheny, or the State of
Pennsylvania. Now, I do not say that I
with any disrespect to the law, or
the Honorable Court, or to the at¬
torneys enaged in this matter, but I
say it because of a firm conviction
which still exists within me, if not I
in any others, that when the case
goes to court it should be the busi¬
ness of the court as well as every¬
body in public to get all the facts
in the case. I regret to inform you,
Mr. President, that I have had the op¬
portunity of appearing in the second
case, being a witness to the entire
proceedings, which lasted a half day 1
and a few hours of the next day, and |
I regret exceedingly that not a sin- |
gle bit of fact was brought out touch- !
ing the point which is at issue in
this case and which concerns the pay¬
ment of money from the City Treas¬
ury, and that fact is that not one
word was uttered regarding the vetoes
—not a bit of testimony was even
allowed to be taken—not even a bit
of testimony was allowed to be taken
to show that the right course of pro¬
cedure had not been followed in this
case, which had been followed hun¬
dreds of times in my own limited ex¬
perience as a member of Council.
I must quote here the words of the
Honorable Judge, 'T know Mr. I'in- 1
ley who runs your Water Depart- i
ment, I suppose if Council only gave
him enough money to run 10 survey¬
ors and he had 20 on the payroll, he
would have to discharge 10 , wouldn't
he?” Yet this is an identical case,
Mr. President. The Honorable Court
knew the fact, but under the rules
of piocedure our famous jurisprudence
—the truth, was not brought out
This is the case of one. two or three
positions. In this case it is raised to
the dignity of a division.
Mr. President, I do hope that no
one can charge me with having a per¬
sonal anomisity in this case, because
I do not have, but I have a firm
conviction that the law and power
of the City Council and the Mayor
under the Charter ordinance was not
handled properly in this proposition.
The truth of this was the fact that
we did not even get a chance to put
that kind of testimony in the record,
and I am compelled in defense of
my position, to m.ake this statement
in open Council. It i.s not with any
animosity that when the City goes In¬
to court the City should be allowed
to explain everything that goes on
in any particular case. No wonder
we are getting trimmed on Second
avenue in the sum of $ 1 , 000,000 and
in all cases w'here the City seems to
get the worst. I do not know what
the outcome would have been if a
full statement of the facts had been
allowed to have been given; and I do
not gainsay that when the City Coun¬
cil and the Maj'or make an appropri¬
ation ordinance which finally be¬
comes the law and there is not suf¬
ficient money to pay a certain num¬
ber of whitewings for the entire year,
everybody knows what the Director
of the Department of Public Work
does—he notifies a certain number
of employees which he picks out at
his will and pleasure, and says to
them that there is not enough money
to pay you from the City Treasury.
I am sorry, Mr. President; I am
through and I vote NO.

To the President and Members of
Council.
Gentlemen:
With reference to Bill 1468, being
an ordinance vacating Everett street
and Hogans way, in the 28th Ward
of the City of Pittsburgh, from Rail¬
road street to the westerly line of an
unnamed fifteen foot way west of
Windgap avenue, as laid out in S. A.
Duff’s Plan of Lots, recorded in the
Recorder’s Office of Allegheny Coun¬
ty in Plan Book Vol. 16, page 19, and
also Railroad street, from Everett
street to Youghiogheny avenue, as
located by deed of record in the
Recorder's Office of Allegheny County
in Deed Book, Vol. 1168, page 1, you
have asked whether or not public
rights have been abandoned by the
failure to use the streets in question
for a period of twenty-one years, and
in reply thereto we report as fol-
low's:
We cannot undertake to pass upon
the question of fact as to whether
these streets have or have not been
used by the public within twenty-one
years last past, but if they have not
been so used or accepted by the muni¬
cipality and opened up to the public,
we see no reason why they should
not he vacated.
The Act of Assembly of May 9,
1899, P. L. 173, provides:
''That any street, lane or alley, laid
out by any person or persons in any
village, or town plot, or plan of lots
on lands owned by such person or
persons, in case the same has not
been opened up, or used by, the pub¬
lic for twenty-one years next after
the laying out of same, shall be and
have no force and effect and shall
not be opened without the consent
of the owner or owners of the land
on which the same has been, or shall
be, laid out."
In other words, the public rights
to such streets or alloys no longer
exist if the street has not been used
by the public for a period of twenty-
one years next after the laying out
of same.
These streets and alleys were
originally laid out in the S. A. Duff
Plan of Lots above mentioned, but
by deed of S. A. Duff et ux., recorded
in Deed Book, vol. 1168, page 1,
there was a portion of Railroad street
conveyed to the Ohio Connecting
Railway Company, and in the same
instrument the grantor dedicated a
street in the place and stead of Rail¬
road street as laid out in the original
plan.
It appears that ail the parties in
interest and affected by this plan of
lots, including the Ohio Connecting
Railway Company, have joined in the
Petition for the vacating of the
streets and alley mentioned in the
ordinance, as appears by the affidavit
of Edward E. Duff attached thereto.
If, therefore, there has been no pub¬
lic user of these streets and alleys
for more than twenty-one years, tak¬
en together with the joinder of all
property owners affected by the plan
in the Petition, we are of the opinion
that no vested rights will be inter¬
fered with by the passage of the va¬
cating ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard W. Martin, City Solicitor
(Opinion by Mr. Ewing)
Which was read, received and filed.

Which was read, received and filed.
Also, with an affirmative recom¬
mendation, subject to reports from
the Law Department and Department \
of Assessors.
Bill No. 1468. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance vacating i
Everett street and Hogans way. in
the 28th Ward of the City of Pitts¬
burgh, from Rjsilroad street to the
westerly line of the first unnamed
15 foot way west of Windgap avenue,
as laid out in R A. Duff’s Plan of |
Lots, and recorded in Recorder’s Of¬
fice of Allegheny County in Plan
Book, vol. 16, page 97, and also Rail¬
road street, from Kverett street to j
Youghiogheny avenue, as located by j
a deed of record in the Recorder’s Of- j
flee of Allegheny County in Deed
Book, vol. 1168, page 1,”
Which was read,
Mr. Borland moved
A suspension of the rule to i
allow the second and third readings j
and final passage of the bill.
Which motion prevailed. |
And the bill was read a second
time.
Mr. Fiiglli^li arose and said:
Mr. President, w-e have just heard
the opinion of the City Solicitor, hut
It Is not stated that the owners of
this property have paid taxes on what
we call a paper street. Before vot¬
ing on the ordinance I would like to
know whether the owners of the prop¬
erty abutting on the streets to he
vacated have been paying taxes for
the past 21 years on the ground in
question, or has it been exempt from
taxes because it was presumed to be i
a public highway. |
The reports of the Department of !
Assessors and the Law Department I
do not state whether or not the own¬
ers had been paying taxes on the !
ground in question.
I desire to help any Company which i
has a fair proposal for improving the
City, but I also desire to deal fairly
With the city as well, and for that
reason I desire to know whether tax¬
es have been paid on this property
for the past 21 years.
The Chair said:
I am unable to give you the
information you desire; hut Mr. Louis
P. Schneider, representing the owners
of the property in this transaction is
present and he might enlighten you
on this. If there are no objections,
we will hear from Mr. Schneider.
Mr. Louis P. Schneider, being given
the privilege of the floor, said:
Mr. President, in answer to Mr,
ISngli.sh, I am sorry to say that I am
not prepared to answer this question.
I rnight say, however, that there are
no streets on record in the office of
the Division of Surveys, and I would
be inclined to think that the owners
have been paying taxes on this prop¬
erty.
Mr. Blnglfsli arose and said:
Mr. President, I desire to be
recorded as “not voting” on this bill
for the following reason. If no tax¬
es were assessed or paid on this land
for 21 years a vote to now vacate the
streets would he unfair to the city,
while if taxes were assessed and
were paid for 21 years, a refusal to
vacate the streets would be unfair
to the owners seeking the vacation.
As no one has been able to advise
on this question and it appears that
Council desires to pass the ordinance
today without referring back for the
information regarding taxes I desire
to be recorded as “not voting."
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pass finally?”
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and were:

Mr. Etigish called up
Bill No. 242. An Ordinance
entitled, "An Ordinance providing for
the appointment of six Captains in the
Bureau of Police, Department of Pub¬
lic Safety, and fixing the salary
therefor."
In Council, October 9th, 1922, bill
called up and vote reconsidered by
which it was rejected on second
reading, and the motion, to agree to
the bill on second reading, failed.
Which was read,
Mr. English moved
That the bill, as read a sec¬
ond time, be agreed to.
Mr. Anderson arose and said:
Mr. President, I stated last week In
opposing the passage of this bill that
if the Council would give the consid¬
eration to the other city employees
that they are in creating these six
positions and increase their wages
that I would vote for this ordinance.
At the last session of the Finance
Committee it was agreed that all ordi¬
nances and petitions for increases in
salaries would be laid on the table
until the Budget Committee takes up
the consideration of the appropria¬
tions for 1923.
Why this unseemly haste on this
ordinance? All of us may be for this
ordinance when the proper time comes
and we have had an opportunity to
look into it, but it is a matter for
budget proceeding and we should con¬
sider it there. We don’t know now
what the administration will do about
the appointments. The mayor was
before us and he told us that he had
in mind elevating six lieutenants to
the new positions, but Director Me-
Candless at the same time, told us he
expected to appoint them from among
the patrolmen. What are we going to
take from this any more than it is an
increased pay for some of the payroll,
and before we do that we should con¬
sider the pay of all city employees.
It will only be a week or two when
the salary bills are acted on.
Mr. BlngiiMh arose and said:
Mr. President, regarding this ordi¬
nance for six police captains, it seems
to me that it should have the unani¬
mous vote of the Council. There is
no question but what better disci¬
pline will be obtained in the Police
Department if we have one man in
authority in each district as an assist¬
ant to the Commissioner of the Dis¬
trict. Under the present system, when
the Commissioner leaves the station,
and when there are 2 or 3 lieutenants
reporting to that station, it has been
the custom to designate one of these
lieutenants as an acting commissioner
in the absence of the Commissioner.
The plain purpose of this ordinance
is to place one man in charge all the
time and avoid any misunderstanding
as to who is in actual charge when
the Commissioner is absent. It might
be or it might not be true that some
commissioners are overworked, but
there is no question in my mind as to
the advisability of having an assistant
in charge of an important police dis¬
trict when the head of the district is
compelled to be elsewhere.
As far as creating new positions is
concerned, this is merely a change in
title, and the expense to the City is
very slight, amounting to only approx¬
imately 11440.00 per annum for the en¬
tire number of six.
The Mayor appeared before the Fi¬
nance Committee and stated that it
was his further intention not to fill
the positions of lieutenants, but that
the number of lieutenants would ac¬
tually be reduced by siv. Consequent¬
ly the net result is the changing of
title of six lieutenants to police cap¬
tains at a slight expense of $1440.00
per annum for the entire number of
six.
I for one feel that we should co-op¬
erate wMth the Mayor when he offers a
proposition of this kind.
As far as referring it to the budget
session is concerned, this ordinance Is
entirely different from requests for in¬
creases of salary, which are proper
budget matters. This is a proposed
change for the handling of the Bureau
of Police, and I think it is well worthy
of a trial.
Therefore, I cheerfully give my vote
in favor of this ordinance.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, there is a lot of dis¬
cussion over this. Tomorrow morning
at 9:30 we are going to start on our
budget, and there has not been an
effort made until within the past two
weeks to have this ordinance passed,
and I do not really believe, as one of
the former speakers said, that the
Mayor, the Director of the Department
of Public Safety, or the Superintendent
of Police will be able to get sufficient
information that the six positions
that we are going to jjrovide for are
necessary or not in six weeks. I be¬
lieve this could go over until the con¬
sideration of the budget.
However, I am not going to stand
in the road of the re-organization of
the police department. I am going to
help them. I believe they are good
positions providing they work out
properly; but I do believe in fairness
to the other departments that this
matter could be taken up in budget
sessions, and I therefore move that
this bill be recommitted to the Com¬
mittee on Finance.
Which motion did not prevail.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the bill, as read a second time, be
agreed to?"
The motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pass finally?"
The ayes and noes were taken
agreeably to law, and were:
Ayes—Messrs.

Noes—Messrs.

And the majority of the votes of

given to it by the City Council, by
the Bureau of Police and by the other
officers in the city administration who
Investigated the subject. It w'as care¬
fully deliberated over by your honor¬
able body before final adoption. It
seems to be wrong to reverse our
course upon the demand of the com¬
paratively few individuals after such
a brief experiment. The police power
is exercised in tUe interest of the
public at large, I am not convinced
that the personal interest of a few
are materially injured, while I do be¬
lieve that the public interest is very
much benefited. If the original plan
should be allowed a reasonable de¬
gree of trial, I will be among those
who are willing to join in amending
it, If it would api)eur that either ser¬

it is a good thing for the City of

However, as a preponderance of opin¬

To the Council.
Gentlemen:
On Bill No. 169.3, being- an or¬
dinance widening certain portions of
North Canal street and Bill No. 1694,
opening North Canal street, I beg to
report that I have compared these
ordinances with the ordinance of
Council authorizing the execution of
a contract with the Pennsylvania
Uailroad, said ordinance having been
approved, July 8, 1922, and recorded
in Ordinance Book, Volume 33, Page
451.
The descriptions of the streets in
the proposed ordinances are sub¬
stantially the same as the descrip¬
tions in the. contract ordinance. The
slight differences that appear therein
are caused hy the difference in sur¬
veyors’ measurements and do not af¬
fect the contract or the ordinances
themselves. I am informed that the
descriptions contained in the contract
ordinance were prepared from sur¬
veys made, by the Railroad Company.
The de.scriptions contained in the pro¬
posed ordinances were made from
surveys made by the City.
Respectfully,
THOS. M. BENNER,

DEPARTMENT OF DAW
Pittsburgh, December 15, 1922.
City Council.
Gentlemen:
In reply to your motion of Decem¬
ber 11, 1922, asking an opinion as to
whether, in case Bill No. 1916,—“An
Ordinance repealing an ordinance
designating depositories for the mon¬
ies of the City of Pittsburgh, to reg¬
ulate deposits therein, and to provide
for the payment of interest thereon,”
which became a law October 1. 1912,
were repealed, there would, be any
ordinance or law determining the se¬
lecting of depositories for City funds.
I hereby advise you that there would
not. The ordinance of October 1,
1912, established an entirely new sys¬
tem for that purpose.
The last preceding Orviinance was
No. 389, which became a law July 9,
1908. This ordinance authorized con¬
tracts with certain banks named
therein to act as City depositories
for a term of four year.^. It there¬
fore is apparent that if t)ie Ordinance
under consideration were adopted the
whole system would fail. If Council
only contemplates doing away with
the guarantee of the deposits fund,
that purpose can be defeated by re¬
pealing Section 2 of the ordinance
designating depositories, of October
1, 1912, in wrhich event all the other
provisions of that ordinance would
be in full force and effect.
Yours truly,
THOS. M. RENNER,
First Assistant City Solicitor.
Which was read and, on motion of
Mr.’ ,Kobe^rtson received and filed.

No. 2036.
CITY OP PITTSBURGH, PENN’A.
December 18, 1922.
The City Council.
I return, without approval, Bill No.
1916, an ordinance repealing the ex¬
isting legislation governing city bank
deposits. These deposits constitute
very large sum varying over the
course of the year between ten and
twenty million dollars. Your honor¬
able body has provided no substitute
system for the custody and safety of
670
the city fund^. The subject matter is
too important to be without reg^ula-
tions. I, therefore, cannot a^ree to
the passage of the bill.
Hespectiully submitted,
W. A. MAGEE-,
Mayor, j
Which was read, and on motion of
Mr. JlobertMm received and filed.
Also
Bill No. 1916. An Ordinance !
entitled, “An Ordinance repealing- an
ordinance entitled, O^n Ordinance
designating depositories for the mon¬
ies of the City of Pittsburgh, to reg¬
ulate deposits therein, and to provide
for the payment of interest thereon,' ;
which became a- law October 1, 1912.” |
In Council, l)e*»ember 11, 1922. j
Rule suspended. I
Read three tijues and finally passed. |
Which was read. j
And on the question, “Shall the bill j
objections of the Mayor?”
Mr. Flnglish arose and said: I
Mr. Preciident. I regret very j
much that I disagree with His i
Honor on this bill. Quite a number
of years I have thought that this j
was not the proper ordinance of the 1
City of Pittsburgh, although it has
been in effect since 1912. The record j
of Council will show that some of us j
made an effort to repeal this ordi- |
nance in 1914, ‘3915 and, I believe, i
1916; but we were always outvoted. |
I do not want to divulge any private
conver.sations or communications with
city officials, but I thought I was do¬
ing something good for the City
when I presented this ordinance, and
I still think' so.
T am not quite satisfied with this
veto message of Mayor Magee. He
does not say that he is opposed to
this hill, although he was apposed
some 10 or 11 years ago; but he gives
AH a reason for vetoing this repealer
that we have provided no substitut«>
system. Now there would be no sense
or necessity for a substitute system
if there is no possibility of having the
one now in force repealed.
Various things have been said and
printed as to the purpose of this bill
in attempting to have it repealed. 1
am not responsible for things people
say or print. I wish to say publicly
that my opposition to this bank ordi¬
nance has been a consistent opposi¬
tion for years. Let me call your at¬
tention. Mr. President, to the fact 1
that it took about 10 months for the
first <!Jouncil of Nine to rig up this
wonderful ordinance which they fin¬
ally passed in 1912. I do not think
there was a bill up in the old Council
or any other Council which indicates
that the Council men did not know
what they were doing when they
passed the depository ordinance in
1912. I think four members of Coun¬
cil attempted to frame a bill, which
was not satisfactory to any one, ana
I think this depository ordinance was
finally evolved by the banking inter¬
ests of Pittsburgh, because there was
not one word said by a single mem¬
ber of Council when the bill was
passed in 1912,
My objection to this veto is on the
grounds that there is no way pointed
out by the Mayor as to what he cares
to do. If it is the purpose of the
Mayor to veto bills that are passed
by Council, it seems to me then that
the Mayor ought to offer a substi¬
tute system if he has any; if he ha.s
not, he ought to ask Council if they
have a substitute before vetoing for
the reason he gives.
My objection to the present depos¬
itory ordinance is the piling up of
$500,000.00 belonging to the people
for the protection of some bank or
bankers. I cannot see where this
system is not in the interest of the
people of Pittsburgh.
Some of you were present at the
meeting last Monday when the repre¬
sentatives of the banking institutions
admitted that when customers come
to their banks to get loans the banks
ask for some kind of surety, perhaps
a note, mortgage or bond from the
bank, to make good incase the bor¬
rower does not pay back the amount
he obtains from the bank on a loan.
We all know as members of Coun¬
cil that any person, firm or corpora¬
tion who assumes to do any work or
furnish material to the City of Pitts¬
burgh is compelled to give a bond of
some kind to the City for the faith¬
ful performance of that duty or con¬
tract. In this particular matter of
bank depositories w'e find that the
banks instead of giving security to
the City, the City itself runs its own
insurance fund for the benefit of the
outside parties. That, to my mind,
is the main weakness of this bank
depository ordinance.
The matter of interest has some
effect also on this proposition. How¬
ever, that is of minor importance
when we consider the mistake which
T think has been made in piling up
$500,000.00 of the people's money for
the protection of these banks. I
have in mind many streets of the City
of Pittsburf^h which could have been
repaired or kept in condition had the
Council of 1914 adopted some such
T)lan as a maintenance fund for the
Litrccts of the City of Pittsburgh. In
my opinion the maintenance of streets
is of RTeater importance to the citi¬
zens of this community than the pro¬
tection of some bank or bankers who
may or may not go wrong. You can
see, in 10 years what would have
happened, if within that space of
time this guarantee fund for bank de¬
posits had reached the sum of $500,-
000.00. I could not get the members
of Council to see the wisdom of pil¬
ing up insurance funds for our streets
which are in view of every one day
in and clay out; but for years a ma¬
jority of Council has seen fit to set
up a guarantee fund for the protec¬
tion of the banks who have the City’s
money on deposit.
I have no quarrel with the banks.:
we need the banks; but I want to
point out this fact that I think the
Government of the United States and
the various states, cities and town¬
ships do their full share towards
protecting the banking business.
There is no business in our country
which gets as much protection as the
banking business. If a man forges h
check the whole machinery .of our
Government, beginning with the dis¬
trict or town constable, going up to
the United States Secret Service De¬
partment and the Courts, the whole
machinery of our Government -be¬
hind 'the prosecution of a person who
interferes with money matters. I
think the people are paying enough
money to protect the banking fra¬
ternity and if they cannot protect
themselves, why should the> people
of Pittsburgh be asked to protect
them from themselves at public ex¬
pense. We do not have this system
with our school board, the County of
Allegheny or the State of Pennsyl¬
vania money. Why should the City
of Pittsburgh he singled out to pile
up money for some one else’s benefit.
Frankly I do not think that we need
any insurance if it is to he paid by
the City of Pittsburgh. It might be
argued that in case we would apply a
security bond of some kind the City
of Pittsburgh would be compelled
pay one-half of one per cent, for the
cost of a security bond. Suppose
that were true. In any event we
would be getting something for our
money. In the present instance the
necessity is to keep two cash boxes—
one for the banks and the other for
the people. If something happens to
one we take it out of the other. Wo
have much more valuable property
and many millions of dollars at stake
in this building and in the fire sta¬
tions and in the water department ami
the various i^roperties and equipment
and machinery, and we do not carry
any insurance on them.
Now, if it a pure matter of insur¬
ance and i»rotection, then I say we
ought to go along the line and carry
insurance on everything. My objec¬
tion to the bank depository ordinance
is the insurance feature at the peo¬
ples’ expense.
Therefore, I wish to be recorded as
voting in favor of the repeal ordi¬
nance notwithstanding the veto of
the Mayor.
Mr. McArdle arose and said;
Mr. President, I would like
to ask the gentleman if I understood
one of his statements correctly, re¬
ferring to the records of Council at
the time of the passage of the pres¬
ent ordinance, I understood him to
say that at the time of its passage
nor at any other time did any of the
members of Council have anything to
say about this ordinance?
Mr. English arose and .said;
Mr. President, what I said
was, that from the time of its intro¬
duction in Council early in 1912 not
one word of defense of the bill waa
said; nor was anything 'said at the
time of its final passage In Council.
The records of Council for 1912 will
show that the bank depository ordi¬
nance which was finally enacted into
law was introduced in February and
was not finally passed until the
month of October; during that time
at least four members of Council kept
introducing bills and these went back
and forth from council to committee
two or three times, and when this
present depository bill was passed In
October there was not one word said
in Council either for or against the
ordinance.
Mr. MoArdle arose and said;
Mr. President, I do not know
what the records contain. As for as
my recollection is concerned, probably
there was nothing said at the tinte
of the' passage of the bill, just as
there is nothing said on the majority
of bills passed by Council. The only
time any statements are made on a
bill is when there i.«; a dispute, and
there being no dispute on the bank
depository ordinance in 1912, of
course no remarks were made; it re¬
ceiving all the votes of the members
of Council at that time, there was
nothing remarkable about the ab-
672
sence of dincusslon, and the only com¬
ment 1 car ; to make, is this: So fas
as discussion is concerned dealing?
with the suhject-matter of the. ordi¬
nance, no hill that has ever been in
Council .vv:m more fully discussed by
the meml>ers of Council than the bill
which fi no My . passed in the .shape
that it, is now j proposed to repeal, in
the various cjjmmittees; and .confer¬
ences that were held when this sub¬
ject* was hetore us.
t
Mr. <;iirliin<l arose and said:
Mr. i'resident. l^w.ould like to
support what Mr. McArdle has said.
The Finance Commitl.ee. met many
tjmes and dismissed this ordinance. It
is unusual to have discussions jn Coun¬
cil. This is ah exceptional case.
When the jrentleman, says there was
no discussion as far as the Municipal
Hecord, is concerned, he is rig^ht. But
for the infornriatiion of Cpuncil and in
order, to keep the records clcaJ% I
want to that there were meet-
inKS after meeting's, .and the Munici-
p{il Record vviU show that ordinance
after ordinance was introduced until
Council finally agreed upon the ordi¬
nance which wa.s passed in October
1912.
Many rejircsentatives. ■ .,of banks,
large and small, throughout the City
were present nt the meetings in old
City Hall when this bank depo.sitory
ordinance wa.s under discussion, and
at some of thc.se meetings we had as
many as 25 or 50 bankers present
discussing thi.s ordinance. ’
At the conclu.sion of these hearings
the ordinance was passed at that time
in committee with the votes of nine
members, and it finally passed in
Council with nine votes.
Therefore, T repeat that it was very
much discussed.
Mr. Kitglisli arose and said:
Mr. President, the gentleman
only bears out what I said. When
the various bill.^; went back and forth
from CouheiT td Committee betweeti
February knd October, after many
meetings with 25 to 50 bankers,
Council finally passed an ordinance
satisfactory to the bankers, but in my
opinion not satisfactory to the people.
Mr. Garlntul arose and said:
Mr. President. I disagree with
Mr. Fn.uilNh; the bankers did not
write the ordinance; they' were heard
and discussed the ordinance With
(’ouncil but they' did not w'rite the
provi.sions of the ordinance.
Mr. arose and said:
I must rejiCat again wlial I
Said before that after many' meet I lig.s
(k)uncil finally passed the ordinance
after it was satisfactory to the bank-
crs. , ,
Mr. (jiiirliind arose and said:
‘ ^ Mr. I’repident, the rate was
two per cent, and we made it ‘50 per
cent, additional, and when the gentle¬
man puts words in my mouth I ob¬
ject. There were nine intelligent
men in Council at that time; jiist as
intelligent as they are today, and
they passed it unanimously after con¬
siderable discussion. I agree with Mr,
Mc.^rille that it took more time and
discussion in committee than this re¬
peal ordinance. It certainly wa.s gone
over and very much discussed, and
when the gentlemen puts on the
records of this meeting that there
wa.s no discussion on the original or¬
dinance he is. very much in error. He
knows that discussions are in com¬
mittees, except on rare occasions
when some gentleman wants to get
into print.
Mr. KiigliNli arose and said:
Mr. Pre.sident, I did not in¬
tend or expect to get into any per¬
sonal controversy. I just want to
make this observation that it seems
to me that if this were a good thing
some of these people ought to have
as much influence with the School
Board, with the County and with the
State of Pennsylvania to get the
same kind of terms w'ith the other
authorities as they do from the City
of Pittsburgh. I was not discussing
the intelligence of any member of
Council, Practically the .-same , gentle¬
men of the same intelligence bought
the West Penn and Soho playgrounds
and these have been lying nuietly for
10 y'ears.
The Chair said:
That does not pertain to this
subject. The municipal record to
which Mr. Knglisli refers does not
show' thfit there was a discussion on
the original ordinance. Mr. KngliNh
has made his statement, and Mr.
Cnrbinil and Mr. McArdle have made
themselves clear.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, when T first
became a member of Council, Mr.
KiiglLsh introduced a repealer. T sup¬
ported it with him. We called a
meeting in Septeml>er to have a hear¬
ing on the proposed repealer. During
that meeting, you w'ill recall that Mr.
Hoeveler was stricken and died in de-
thoug-ht a great deal of Mr. Hoeveler. j otherwise would have been dissipated
Before the meeting convened, I had in the form of surety bonds. We car-
a talk with Mr. Hoeveler and he said ry our own surety bonds. It is true
to me, “Do you .thoroughly know | that 7 or 8 banks failed since the en-
what it means to guarantee bank de- f actment of this ordinance. One bank
posits?” I told him I thought so. He ' the gentleman is referring to which
said that if a bank fails in which the ! failed had caused a loss to the City
State or Nation has money on deposit, : of $47,000.00; but we had prepared for
they go right down to that particular | that, and it is only a matter of book-
bank and they withdraw the amount i keeping and giving ourselves credit
they have on deposit and what is | for the amount we saved We would
left goes to liquidate the debt. The not lose if enough banks failed to
depositors must bear the burden. J take out the whole $500,000.00.
Since T have been a member of
Council a prominent bank failed, the
City and County had money on de¬
posit in that bank. The county's
money was withdrawn and the City
could not withdraw its funds. The
result was that the City had to wait
a certain time, 1 believe six^months,
thereby protecting the other deposit¬
ors, it finally paid the City in full
for all monies it had on deposit.
I was very much opposed to this
ordinance at first. I have come to '
realize that it is a good thing for |
the City of Pittsburgh. This money
that Mr. KugliMh refers to is not
wasted or lying idle. We have more
than $100,000.00 invested in Liberty
Bonds, and if sold today would
be worth more than their par value.
We have between $300,000.00 and
$400,000.00 invested in municipal im¬
provement bonds. As a result of
these investments the City is realiz¬
ing more than $20,000,00 a year. |
There is a great deal to be said i
about this bank depository ordinance.
Some of you gentlemen will remem¬
ber that after the meeting in old
City Hall when Mr. Hoeveler passed ;
away that ordinance never came to ;
a vote; the discussion died, and it I
was never brought up again until |
now; so you will have to admit, all i
of you, that the City of Pittsburgh
has absolutely lost nothing by this
method, and certainly there was no
criticism against it that I have ever
heard for the last few years over
the working of this ordinance.
Mr. Kng1i.sh arose and said:
I cannot let that last state¬
ment go unchallenged, Mr. President.
The City of Pittsburgh has lost $67,-
000.00 through the failure of one bank
in which the City had funds on de- i
posit. !
Mr. Herron arose and said: !
Mr. President, that is just
stretching the point. This $500,000.00
would not exist today if we had the
kind of ordinance that some people
think the City should have.
Mr. KiiglLsh arose and said:
Mr. President, I will have to
challenge that statement. I made
this statement that if the City offered
its money to the highest bidder and
got 3.97 per cent, interest on our de¬
posits, the additional money received
over the 3 per cent, which the in¬
active banks are now paying, the City
could take that 97/100 per cent, and
go out and pay for a surety bond and
make upwards of $50,000.00 more than
City is now receiving under the
present ordinance. Ther<*fore, we are
losing by continuing the present plan
which T seek to repeal.
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, that statement
of Mr. KngliMh is just simply his
statement and not backed up by any
evidence presented to this commit¬
tee.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the hill become a law notwithstanding
the objections of the Mayor?”

CITY OP PITTSBURGH, PENN^A.
December 18, 1922.
Committee on Public Safety.
Gentlemen:
On Bill No, 1955, being an Ordinance
regulating the holding of sales by
auction in the City of Pittsburgh,
adopting rules and regulations for
granting of licenses for holding the
same, and fixing a penalty for the
violation of the terms of this ordi¬
nance, I report as follows:
In my opinion the very broad pro¬
visions of this Ordinance regulating
this business make it invalid. It
seems to me that it is not within the
power of the City to prevent the
conducting of sales by auction as a
going business or to restrict the
length of time during which such
business shall be conducted. The
Legislature has recognized the val¬
idity of the business by providing for
the licensing of auctioneers, and it
has further recognized by the Act of
May 20, 1913, P. L. 227, the right of
a municipality to license the business
and to impose a license fee upon it
Where the goods sold are bankrupt
estates or the property of a person
about to go out of business, or goods
that have been damaged.
Under the general police power, I
feel that any reasonable regulations
governing the business and designed
to prevent fraud or imposition upon
the public, may be enacted, and that
a license fee may be required, but
beyond this the power of the City
does not extend.
Respectfully,
RICHARD W. MARTIN,
City Solicitor.

And a majority of the votes of coun¬

Mr. Garland arose and said:
Mr. President, I would ask that Mr.
Breitenstein, Cost Accountant in the
City Controller’s Office, who prepared
the appropriation and salary ordi¬
nances, be asged to appear before
Council before action is taken on ttfe
ordinances.
The Chair said:
, The Clerk will send for Mr. Breit-
i enstein.
Mr. H. S. Breitenstein, Cost Ac¬
countant, City Controller's Office, ap¬
peared,
Mr. Garland arose and said:
I I would like to ask Mr. Breiten-
I stein, if he will place on the records
I a statement that the budget appropri¬
ations and salary and wage lists are
* as passed by the Finance Committee
sitting on the budget?
Mr. Brietenstein said:
Yes, sir; they are. The ordinances
as presented to Council contain only
amendments approved by the Finance
Committee in budget sessions, or a
majority of the Finance Committee.
There is a question about one or two
of the rates. However, they are im-
1 material and unimportant, and I
would say unqualifiedly that every¬
thing in the ordinances is as kept by
Mr. Weible, Clerk of the Finance Com¬
mittee. I checked up on everything;
however, there might i)e a few chang¬
es which might have to be corrected
690
Also
later. There is nothing- in the ordi¬
nances that does not carry out the
wishes of the Finance Committee,
Mr. Garlunf] said: * ,
There is nothing in the ordinances
other than that approved by the Com- ;
mittefe on Finance. It is just simply j
a difference of opinion between you '
and Mr. Weible. I
1
Mr. Breitenstein said:
There might be a difference of opin¬
ion; I do not know that there is. I '
have not had a chance to scrutinize
his minutes. i
Mr. Robertson arose and said:
Mr. President, I desire to call at¬
tention to one error which I have
discovered. It appears on page 23 '
of the printed salary ordinance, and
relates to the fire alarm operators in !
the Bureau of Electricity. You will |
recall that Mr. Anderson’s motion to j
equalize the salary of the Chief and '
the Nine Fire Alarm Operators was !
adopted. j
Mr. Anderson arose and said:
Mr. President, my motion in the |
budget session was for 10 fire alarm
operators in the Bureau of Electric¬
ity at a salary of $2,160.00, each a
year, so as to equalize their salary. |
in the printed ordinance before u.s i
today is a setup of $2,160.00 a year
for each of the nine fire alarm oper¬
ators, and only $1,980.00 for the chief
fire alarm operator.
Mr. Breitenstein said: i
I got the information from the fire ;
alarm operators and th«re was a
question as to whether there were ■
9 or 10 operators. I applied the sal- |
ary to the nine operators—not to the i
Chief. However, I did not realize i
that fact until 1 discovered the rate
of the fire alarm operators was made
higher than that of the Chief. I
Mr. AaderiM>n said:
I made the motion to fix the salary i
of the 10 operators at the same rate, |
so as to equalize their rate of pay. [
The Chnlr said:
Gentlemen, are there any further
questions to be asked of Mr. Brieten-
stein? The Chair hearing none, we
will proceed with the busirLess before
us. However, before we proceed I
want to state that the error in the
salary bill to which our attention
has just been called and any others
which might have been made can be
corrected later by amending ordi¬
nances.

Whereas, in view of the uncer¬

able to obtain coal at a price within
or near th#" range of 1922 prices;
Therefore, be It
Uesolved, That the Director of the
Department of Supplies is hereby
given authority to purchase such coal
as may be required and the Mayor !

Mr, Daniel Winters, President,
And Members of the Council,
Of the City of Pittsburgh.
Dear Sirs;
Bill No. 1986, approved by
Council on December ISlh, is before
me for action. This men .sure has for
its purpose the prohibition of all
parking on Forbes street between
rrid\ strcf^t .and . boiil(*vanl
between the hours of 4 P. M. and 7
P, M.
I respectfully call your attention
to the fact that in the present park¬
ing ordinance the time lietween 4:30
P. M. and C P. M. ha.s been designat¬
ed as the rush-hour*' period. It
tb- r»'t‘ore. t>‘it to e‘’t:ib-
lish a new period of rush-hour travel
as is done in the ordinaace before me
would be confusing to operators of
motor vehicles and I suggest that
you recall the ordinanco to consider
whether or not it would be advisable
to change the hours to conform to
those in the prc.sent parking ordi-
ranre, namely, from T. M, to
P. M.
T would also snnrge^i (hat this or¬
dinance be referred to the Law De¬
partment for the purpose of prevent¬
ing any confusion a:; to the regula¬
tions proposed in this measure a.?
O' i ii>n in the

No. 1665. Report of the Com¬

for October 18, 1922, transmitting sev¬

Which was read, received and filed.
Also
No. 1666.
October 23, 1922.
To the President and Members of
Council, City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
In answer to a motion adopted at
a meeting of the Committee on Pub-
lis Service and Surveys, held October
18, 1922, that the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works furnish
Council, on Monday, October 23, 1922,
a certificate that waivers of damages
have been received from the property
owners affected by the re-establishing
of the grade of Pike street, from 13th
street to 14th street, I report as fol¬
lows:
The re-establishment of the grade
of Pike street, from 13th street to
14th street, in reality does not change
the grade for this entire distance.
Said change practically starts 100 feet
east of 13th street and extends east-
wardly about 195 feet, or to a point
about 136 feet west of 14th street. The
change of grade only affects the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company’s
property on the north and the Hardie
Bros. Company's property on the
south.
An ordinance agreement, Ordinance
No. 235, approved July 17th, 1922, in
sections 4 and 6 distinctly states that
the Hardie Bros. Company will bear
the full cost and expense of all the
work involved in connection with the
repaving and repairing of the street
pavement and other surface and sub¬
surface structures that may be in any
wise damaged or disturbed by reason
of the construction, maintenance and
use of a switch track, and that said
Hardie Bros. Company shall assume
any liability of the City of Pittsburgh
for damages to person or property,

including the street and sub-surface
structures therein, by reason of the
construction maintenance and use of
said switch track. In connection
with the switch track grant contained
in the ordinance agreement above re¬
ferred to, it was also necessary to
change the grade of a portion of Pike
street, and in accordance with a ver¬
bal opinion of Thos, M. Benner, First
Asst. City Solicitor, the Department
considered that the signing of the or¬
dinance agreement by the Hardie Bros.
Company w’ould relieve the City from
any and all claims for damages due
to the granting of the switch rights
and the proposed change of grade.
It would therefore seem that it is
not necessary to obtain a waiver of
damage from the Pennsylvania Rail¬
road Company and Hardie Bros. Com¬
pany for the proposed change of grade
on Pike street, but I am assured by
a representative of the railroad com¬
pany that if such waiver is required,
same will be furnished by said rail¬
road company and Hardie Bros. Com¬
pany.
Yours truly,
CHAS. A. FINLEY,
Director.
October 23, 1922.
To the President and Members
of Council, City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen;
The change of grade and the reim¬
provement of 13th street, from Pike
street to Etna street, as proposed by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
affects only the property of the Penn¬
sylvania Railroad Company, the Alle¬
gheny County Light Company, and
Mackintosh-Hemphill Company.
I hereby certify that there is on file
in the Mayor’s office, a waiver of dam¬
age signed by A.W. Thompson, President
Allegheny County Light Company, and
George S. Macrum, President, Mackin-
tosh-Hemphill Company, with the seals
of said companies attached, relieving
and forever discharging the said City
of Pittsburgh from any and all claim
or claims for damages whatsoever,
due to the change of grade or by rea¬
son of the grading, paving and curb¬
ing of said 13th street; and further
agreeing to indemnify and save the
City of Pittsburgh harmless from the
payment of any damages whatsoever
resulting to any and all ground or
buildings owned or leased by the said
Allegheny County Light Company and
Mackintosh-Hemphill Company, occas¬
ioned by said municipal improvements.
Further, the ordinance agreement,
relating to the proposed change of
grade on 13th street, Pike street and
the vacation of Etna street, contains
a clause in which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company shall pay the en¬
tire cost of the regrading and repav¬
ing of said 13th street.
Yours truly,
CHAS. A. FINLEY,
Director.
Which was read, received and filed.
Bill No. 1362. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance authorizing
the Mayor and the Director of the
Department of Public Works, for and
upon behalf of the City of Pittsburgh,
to enter into a contract with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
the purpo.se of re-establishing the
grade of Pike street, from 13th street
to Itth street, re-establishing the
grade of 13th street, from Pike street,
to Etna street, and for regrading and
repaving said portioii of Pike street
and 13th street, and also for the va¬
cation of Etna street from 13th street
eastwardly about 222 feet to the west¬
erly property line of the American
Steel and Wire Company."
In Public Service and Surveys Com¬
mittee, October 18, 1922, read and

tee be agreed to.

A suspension of the rule to
allow' the second and. third readings
and final pas.sage of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill w'as read a second
time.
Mr. Malone arose and said
Mr. President. Bill No. 1362.
File 711, is an agreement ordinance
covering the re-establishment of the
grade on two streets and the improve¬
ment thereof, and the vacation of one
street.
I notice in the files before us today
that one of the bills which was ap¬
proved in committee has been elim¬
inated.
I was just wondering if it would
be a good thing to pass this agree¬
ment ordinance without the companion
ordinance providing for the vacation
of Etna street. I believe it would be
a good policy for Council to withhold
action on this agreement ordinance
until we see what disposition is made
of the vacation ordinance.
Might I inquire why the vacation
ordinance is not before us today, it
having been acted upon favorably by
the Committee on Public Service and
Si.urveys at tlm meeting held Wednes¬
day, October 15?
The Chnir said:
The Clerk of Council can in¬
form you on that point.
The Clerk (Mr. Mnrtlii) said;
Mr. President, the Assistant
Chief Engineer of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, Mr. C. W. Richey,
came in and asked that the ordinance
for the vacation of Etna street, under
the Act of 1895 be withheld, as he
desired to present a petition signed
by the. majority in interest and num¬
ber. This was agreed to by the Com¬
mittee on Public Service and Surveys.
A new ordinance drawn in accordance
with the petition will be presented to
Council, and action therefore on the
ordinance for the vacation of Etna
street, under the Act of 1895, was
withheld.
Mr, UohertNOu arose and said:
Mr. President, I thought that
was thoroughly understood in com¬
mittee.
The Chair said:
I think that was agreed to in
committee.
Mr. Malone arose and said:
Mr. President, the vacation or¬
dinance is the principal feature of
this agreement, because of the amount
of money the Railroad Company is
to pay the City for the ground taken.
That amount might be increased or
decreased later when the new ordi¬
nance comes before us, and I do not
think, for that reason, we should pass
these ordinances today.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. GnrIflRd presented
No. tG68. Whereas. The Pitts-
burgh-McKeesport Boulevard, outside
of the limits of the City of Pittsburgh,
has been completed and now provides
the public with a high-class thorough¬
fare between these two cities; and
Whereas, The complete construction
of this boulevard will not only confer
a great benefit upon the two largest
cities in the County, but also upon
the South Side, the Hill Top boroughs.
Homestead and communities on the
Monongahela River; and
Whereas, The approach to this
Boulevard lying within .the City of
Pittsburgh, being East Carson street,
from the 22nd Street Bridge to the
County Line, is now the only section
that is in such condition that, it pre¬
vents the people from taking full ad¬
vantage of the benefit of this out-
.standing improvement; Therefore, be
it
Resolved, That we request the Di¬
rector of the Department of Public
Works to submit to Council estimate
for the repaving of that portion of
East Carson Street as described.
Which was read,
Mr. Garland moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed.
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, a delegation of
wounded soldiers who served in the
World War and who are returning to
their homes after attending the Con¬
vention of the American Legion, held
in New Orleans, will stop in the City
on 'V\’’edne.sday, October 25th.
These soldiers will arrive at the
Union Station at 9:00 o’clock, A. M.
and the members of Council are cor¬
dially invited to meet and welcome
them to the City of Pittsburgh.
A luncheon will be served them at
the Chamber of Commerce at 12:00
o’clock, noon, and a banquet will be
given in their honor at 6:00 o'clock,
P. M., in the W'illiam Penn Hotel, to
which the members of Council are in¬
vited.
Mr. Robertson moved
That the minutes of Council
of meeting, held on Monday, October
16, 1922, be approved as printed.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I want to raise an ob¬
jection to the motion to approve the
minutes as printed. In the minutes
as printed, under the discussion on
Bill No. 30, there appears the remarks
of Mr. English. I have had the sten¬
ographer who made the minutes make a
copy of the original remarks made by
Mr. English in the last meeting of
Council, and I have to say that the
remarks as they appear in the printed
minutes today differ materially both
in form and substance from the re¬
marks as recorded by the stenographer
who took the minutes.
I believe that the minute is kept for
the purpose of making a record of
what actually transpires in Council,
and under the right of debate, or dis¬
cussion, every member of Council, of
course, is given a very large latitude,
which is true in all deliberative bodies,
and which is in full keeping with the
theory of free speech; but it seems
to me that that carries with it full
respon.slbility for what one utters.
It is quite one thing to make a
speech of a given nature, or of a
given substance, before a body of men
who may be congregated at the meet¬
ing place where the remarks are
made, or the speech delivered, and
Malone
McArdle
Robertson
Winters (Pres.)
quite quite another to have them ap¬
pear in cold print, yet responsibility
for one's public utterances is clearly
one of the fundementals of the prin¬
ciple of free speech. And I do not believe
that this Council ought to permit,
much less encourage, the delivery of
one speech and the printing of another,
Kow, I am not, in making this state¬
ment, trying to fasten on Council any
very hard and fast rules as to whether
a member should be permitted to
make minor corrections in any state¬
ment he may make without destroy¬
ing the sense of the constructive sen¬
tences in the speech, or without in
any sense affecting the responsibility
which he assumed when he uttered
them; but I do object to any practice
on the part of any member of Council
of substituting an entirely new speech
for the one he actually delivered, and
which, 1 may say, differs vitally from
that which was delivered, and which
those who happened to be here at the
time heard, and which perhaps ap-
l>eared in the newspapers if perchance
the newspapers took any notice of it,
yet it appears in a different way upon
the records of our meeting here.
The speech begins differently, it con¬
tains the discussion in an entirely dif¬
ferent way, and contains matter that
was not even referred to in the speech
as delivered here, as shown by the
minute of the stenographer who kept
it; and if we are going to permit that,
that is not a record of our meetings
at all, and I want to say for one that
from now on I am going to insist
upon the record being kept in accord¬
ance with the w'ay it actually takes
place.
I am not going to sit here and
allow this body to be used as an
agency for the dissemination of hypo¬
crisy or cant upon the part of any
one, and I want to say now that as
long as this matter remains in the
minutes I shall vote against the adop¬
tion of the minutes.
Mr. Kxigji.sh arose and said:
Mr. President, I accept full respon¬
sibility for any statements I make in
Council. I must say in the presence of
the stenographer, however, that he
does not record every word of my
statements, and the minutes as they
are presented to me require a lot of
changes. I was not satisfled with the
transcript of the speech as given me
by George, and without any intent to
transform any substantials I revised
the statement before it was delivered
to the printer. I will admit I did cut
out a lot of stuff that did not seem
to run together well. I will admit
that I did say a lot more than is
printed here. I could have said a lot
more than appears here oxi this mat¬
ter, and said it more stingingly. I
have not made any material changes
in my remarks, but I did put it in
better shape than he put it up to me.
I am not in the habit of making
my remarks in a slow deliberative
style, weighing each word as it falls
from my mouth, as my learned col¬
league.
I admit that I talk fast, and I do
not propose to change my style wheth¬
er the stenographer is able to record
my statements or not.
If there is anything in that state¬
ment which is not right, 1 will cheer¬
fully cut it out.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, that is not the ques¬
tion involved in this. It is not likely
that the stenographer in writing the
remarks would show at the bottom
wijat should appear at the beginning,
or vice >'.'rsa. It is quite likely if he
made error to the extent of dis¬
torting a thought that be made it in
(ho order in which it was made b/
the .speaker.
I ihink all of us have had experi¬
ence W'ith the notes as taken by our
stenographer and I say after reading
it. depending as 1 must upon my mem¬
ory, I could not point to a single
error in his notes; but I would only
need to glance at the speech as print¬
ed and know that it i.s not like the
speech we heard, and it was not in¬
tended that it should be like it.
I am not dealing with whether what
the gentleman says in his speech was
right < r wrong. That is not the sub¬
ject. It is a question of the minutes,
and I think if you will compare the
amount of matter in the speech as
printed with the amount of matter in
the stenographer's verbatim copy of
the speech as uttered, you will find
that there is a material increase rath¬
er than a decrease. I have not counted
the lines; I am hazarding a guess;
but I believe I will be right.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mt. President, let us read this and
see if there is any material difference
between the printed speech and the
verbatim speech as taken down by
the stenographer. It is rather difficult
to make a comparison between the
two. You all sat here and heard this
statement. You men are the judges,
and I am under a charge of padding
these records to suit myself.

The Clinir said: !
1 wuiild noi: say that. !
Mr. arose and said: |
The charge is that the substance
and fundamentals of my statement j
have been materially changed. j
The Chair said: I
That is the subject before us. j
Mr. McArdle has raised a question, j
Mr. Englislt arose and said:
Mr. President, I am going to read
it and let you judge for your##lf.
My statement is as follows:
“Mr. President, I desire to be re- |
corded as voting No on Bill Nos, 28,
29 and 30. My objection is the same
as 1 have urged from the beginning,
and that is.
Whether or not a veto of the |
mayor can be overridden in any
the Mayor can be ’ overridden in any
manner other than that prescribed
by the law. In the Charter Ordi¬
nance of the city the matter of
vetoing app: opriations is clearly de¬
fined, and the Mayor is given the
power to veto any item or items or
parts of an item in the annual ap¬
propriation law.
"Any parts thus vetoed are null and
void unless repassed (replaced is the
word printed in the record, but this
too I have asked Mr. Clnrk to
change) by a two-thirds vote of the
Councii. In this particular matter
a tuo“thirds vote of the Council was
not obtained; consequently, the ap-
I rop’^iatio!’. item failed.
"It was my desire to have this
question tested by the court, but I
regret to say that it was not even
referred to in the second case. It is
a pity that the City of Pittsburgh Is
compelled to suffer from court rules
of proceedings which do not permit
the giving of all the facts in the
ease.
"[ do not bear any personal ani¬
mosity in this case nor do I say
what I do with any intention to be
disrespectful to the law, the Hon-
oral>le Court, or the attorneys or
principal interested in this question.
Jlowcver, it is my firm conviction,
regardless of rules of procedure, the
people expect when a case goes to
court that all of the facts will be
laid on the table so that everyone
may know every phase of the case.
I regret to state that we haven’t
had such an opportunity.
"One thing which struck me very
forcibly were the words of the
Judge in the last case, when he
gave the following illustration. I
do not know that I can quote his
i*’ords exactly, but I do believe that
I have the thought and idea which
he expressed when he said substan¬
tially as follows: ’I know Mr. Fin¬
ley who runs the City Water De¬
partment; I suppose if he had 20
surveyors under him and Council
and the Mayor saw fit to cut the
appropriation down and only pro¬
vided money to pay 10 surveyors the
only thing left for Mr. Finley to do
would be to discharge 10 surveyors.'
"That is exactly the case with the
I»i\ision of Investigation. The ap-
M’o])riation was not made for this
division and yet no one seems to
have told the employees of the Di¬
vision that there was no money
with which to pay them .
"We all know that in the Bureau
of Highways and Sewers, regardless
of what amount is ai^propriated in
any one year when it comes to the
end of the year, say in November,
the Superintendent is compelled to
inform a certain number of labor¬
ers that his appropriations have
been exhausted, and as there is no
money with which to pay the labor¬
ers he is compelled to lay off or
discharge a certain number. The
only difference in the case of the
laborers or the surveyors quoted by
the Honorable Court, is that this
division is called a Division of In¬
vestigation.
"Until this question is finally
passed upon I must continue to
maintain my position that a veto of
the Mayor cannot be overridden in
any other manner than prescribed
by law. which requires a two-thirds
vote of the Council to override the
veto of the Mayor."
I submit to the members whether this
is what I said. I did bring in the
subject of the City being overcharged
on the Second avenue improvement on
account of the court proceedings, and
it is a pity that the City must go up
against this kind of rules of court
l)rocedures, and I thought I was kind
l)y taking that out of the statement.
Mr. arose and said:
Mr. President, I am going to record
the statement of Mr. ElngliHh as furn¬
ished me by the stenographer who
took the notes, and I am going' to
read them as being as near an under¬
standing of Mr. Kng1f.Kh*M speech a
week ago as my memory can furnish
me with, and I want them taken down
as I read them by the stenographer so
that they appear under this head in
the minutes.
“Mr. arose and said;
“Mr. President, I still object to
this manner of paying” these claims.
My objection is based on the same
objection which I have urged from
the beginning; that is this, that
under the charter ordinance and oth¬
er Acts of Assembly the City of
Pittsburgh is restricted and limited
in the manner and method of mak¬
ing appropriations from the City
Treasury. In the matter of salaries
and in the matter of appropriations,
the Mayor is given peculiar power,
vested in him alone, and when the
Mayor vetoes an ordinance which
v.'as done with this particular propo¬
sition two years ago, the only way
under the law to get over that veto
is to have six votes in Council to
override the veto. That was not
done.
“We have had two lawsuits . in
connection with this, and I regret
very much to be compelled to stand
here in public and say that in my
opinion the rules of procedure in
connection with the court procedure
are not a credit to the City of Pitts¬
burgh, the County of Allegheny, or
the State of Pennsylvania. Now, I do
not say that with any disrespect to
the law, or the Honorable Court, or
to the attorneys engaged in this
ter, but I say it because of a
onviction which still exists
me. If not in any others, that
ease goes to court it
’ o bus'ness of the court
.'t ryhody in public to
.1 a; I tile facts in the case. I
regvot to inform you, Mr. President,
that 1 have had the opportunity of
appearing in the second case, being
a witness to the entire proceedings,
which lasted a half day and a few
hours of the next day, and I regret
exceedingly that not a single bit of
fact was brought out touching the
point which is at issue in this case
and which concerns the payment of
money from the City Treasury, and
that fact is that not one word W'as
uttered regarding the vetoes—not a
bit of testimony was even allowed
to be taken—not even a bit of tes¬
timony was allowed to be taken to
show that the right course of pro¬
cedure had not been followed in this
case, which had been followed hun¬
dreds of times in my own limited
experience as a member of Council.
“I must quote here the words of
the Honorable Judge, I know Mr.
Finley who runs your Water De¬
partment, I suppose if Council only
gave him enough money to pay 10
surveyors and he had 20 on the pay¬
roll, he would have to discharge 10,
wouldn’t he?” Yet this is an iden¬
tical case, Mr. President. The Hon¬
orable Court knew that fact, hut
under the rules of procedure our
famous jurisprudence, the truth,
was not brought out. This is the
case of one, two or three positions.
In this case it is ral.sed to the dig¬
nity of a division.
“Mr. President, I do hops that no
one can charge me with having a
personal animosity In this cas<^, b-.
cause I do not have, but I have a
firm conviction that the law
power of the City Counc' o ’
Mayor under the Ch«art; r orcl:
was not handled properly i:i thi.s
proposition. The truth of this was
the fact that we did not e” e > ge'
a chance to put that kind of testi¬
mony in the record, and I am com
peiled in defense of my posifon t
make this statement in open Cou*’
cil. It is not with any animo t
that when the City goes into C u
the City should be allowed to c\
plain everything that goes on in a
particular case. No wonder w * n’-
getting trimmed on Seco d a • nu
in the sum of $1,000,000 and in ab
cases where the City seems to n-e
the worst. I do not know wha^ t’v-
outcome would have bee-^ if a fu ’
statement of the facts ha^ ' p-
allowed to have bee'”' g’”'-'' a '

becomes the lav. . and in ?
sufficient money to pay a c.
number of whitewings for the
tire year everybody knows whit tb
Director of the .Department of Pu))“
lie Works does—he notifies a cer¬
tain number of employees whvb b'
picks out at his will and pleasure
and says to them that there is not
enough money to pay you from t’-*
City Treasury,
“T am sorry, Mr. President; I am
through and I vote NO.”
Now that is in the record as furn¬
ished by the stenographer, and it Is
important that it should be in the
record in keeping with the records
made by the man furnished by the
Clerk of Council to keep it; and I
say it is important because it is right
that it should be there, and it is right
that the members of Council should
have an opportunity to treat with this
subject again, as I expect to do. to
show that not only is this record not
in accordance with the facts in the
case, but the statements made in the
654
speech are false from top to bottom
as will bo shown by the records on
file in the Prothonolary’s office.
The Chnlr said:
The motion was, "That the minutes
be approved as printed."
There is no doubt but what the
question should be raised if there are
any fundamental changes in the
speech as delivered and that as print¬
ed. Undoubtedly we are sorry for
things we say or do. The clerk is
supposed to keep a record of the min¬
utes of the meetings of Council as
they take place and any member of
Council can call for a correction of
the minutes if they do not agree with
what did transpire,
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, our procedure here is
very simple. The minutes as kept by
the stenographer are one thing and
the remarks made by a member are
another and before these minutes are
approved if there is any dispute as to
the correctness of the printed record
and the gentleman agrees to strike
something out we should do it. If I
say something and after I see it in
cold type and it does not sound right,
T think I ought to have the privilege
of standing up and asking permission
to strike it out. Before we adopt
these minutes, we should ask Mr,
English to do that.
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, the record Is open to
any amendment and is subject to
any further consideration that you
want to give it. I am not unmindful
of the fact that a member may want
to change a few words or phrases In
his statement to make a little better
sense. The question raised by Mr.
McArdle is the fundamental difference
between the printed speech and the
one made by Mr, Bitgllnh,
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, where is the founda-
mental difference? George does not
get me right. E^verything I say I have
to go over it and correct it before
it goes to the printer. I ask the mem¬
bers of Council if they notice any dif¬
ference between the printed speech
and the one I delivered at the session
of Council last week.
The Chair said:
Mr. McArdle raised the point.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, do you see any funda¬
mental difference?
The Chnlr said:
There are some slight differences.
Mr. Engliah said:
Where are they?
The Chair said:
I do not care to dispute them.
Mr. English said:
Well, Mr. President, I think It
up to you to decide which version of
the speech should appear in the
minutes of the session.
The Chair said:
If I must do that I am compelled
to choose the speech as it was re¬
ported by the official stenographer.
That is my decision.
Mr. Garland moved
That the minutes be amended
in accordance with the Clerk’s record,
by substituting the speech as read by
Mr. McArdle, and the minutes as
amended be approved.
The Chair said:
I will ask the clerk if that Is the
record as kept by him.
The Clerk said:
Yes, sir.
And the question recurring, "Shall
the minutes be approved with the sub¬
stitution of the speech as reporte'd
by the stenographer?"
Mr. English demanded a call of the
ayes and noes, and the demand hav¬
ing been sustained, the ayes and noea
were taken agreeably by law, and
were:
Ayes—Messrs.
Borland McArdle
Garland Robertson
Herron Winters (Pres.)
Malone
Noes—^Mr. English.
Ayes—7.
Noes—1.
And a majority of the votes of
Council being in the affirmative, the
motion prevailed.

Mr. English arose and said:
Mr* President, I want to serve not¬
ice that I will insist that the stenog¬
rapher’s .notes of all remarks here¬
after he read before the adjournment
of the meeting in which they are
made if we have to stay here all
night.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I want to serve not¬
ice that a majority of this Council
will still continue to rule.
Mr. Malone presented
No. 1669. Communication from

Gentlemen:—
Referring to Council Bill No. 1668,
“Resolution requesting an estimate for
the repaving of East Carson street,
from South 24th street to the City
Line, I attach hereto copy of report
on same from Mr. Tom M. Reed, As¬
sistant Chief Engineer, Bureau of En¬
gineering.

Council Bill 1668
CARSON STREET EAST REPAVING
Mr. C. A. Finley,
Director, Department of Public Works.
Dear Sir:
I return to you letter of October
24th, from City Clerk E. J. Martin,
relative to a resolution read at a
meeting of council, held October 23,
1922, requesting the Director of the
Department of Public Works to sub¬
mit to Council an estimate for the re¬
paving of East Carson street, from
South 24th street to the City line, to¬
gether with the following report:
Carson Street East, from South 17th
street to South 27th street is 80 feet
in width, having a 48-foot roadway.
Prom South 27th street to the city-
line, the street is 50 feet in width,
with a 30 foot roadway. There is a
double car track system for the entire
length of the street. The street is
paved with wood block as far east as
South 24th street, and with blockstone
on a gravel base from 24th street to
the city line.
The budget for the year 1923, in
the Repaving Schedule, contains an
item of $62,000.00 for repaving Carson
street East, from 24th street to the
city line, on the basis of widening the
roadway from 27th street eastwardly
to the city line, from its present width
of 30 feet to a width of 32 feet. The
estimate is based on an asphalt pave¬
ment with 8" concrete base.
Yours truly,
TOM M. REED,
Assistant Chief Engineer.
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Works.
Also
No. 1716.
City of Pittsburgh, Fenna.,
October 27, 1922.
To the City Council:
I return herewith Bill No. 242, pro¬
viding for the appointment of six (6)
-captains in the Bureau of Police,
without approval, for the reason that
it was passed under a misapprehen¬
sion. I favored the passage of the
bill under the impression that six
lieutenants would be promoted into
the new positions and the total num¬
ber of lieutenants corre.spondingly re¬
duced. The Department of Public
Safety does not agree with me in this
policy and I prefer to follow their
judgment rather than to insist upon
my own viewpoint. One or more of
the members of Council voted in favor
of the measure with the same thought
in mind which I had. For these rea¬
sons the same is returned to you for
further consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
W. A, MAGEE,
Mayor.
Which was read, received and filed.
Also
Bill No. 242. An Ordinance
entitled, “An Ordinance providing for
the appointment of six captains in the
Bureau of Police, Department of Pub¬
lic Safety, and fixing the salary there¬
for."
In Council, October 16, 1922, Bill
called up and as read a second time
agreed to, bill read a third time and
finally passed.
Which was read.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
become a law notwithstanding the ob¬
jections of the Mayor?"
Mr. Herron arose and said:
Mr. President, I vote to make
this bill a law notwithstanding the
objections of the Mayor, for the rea¬
son that I approve this bill on the
562
recommendation of the Department of
Public Safety, because I think that is
a good reason for having these posi¬
tions. The Mayor’s argument does
not influence me in changing my
views on this subject.
Mr. McArdle arose and said:
Mr. President, I vote to sus¬
tain the Mayor’s veto for the reason
that independent of what either the
Mayor or the Director thought or said
about the matter it is my judgment
what the Mayor said expected to hap¬
pen w^ould happen; that is, the total
number of employees in the Bureau of
Police would not be increased ulti¬
mately by the passage of this bill, and
I expect if this is passed they would
allow until the end of the fiscal year
a certain number of vacancies equal
to these, to remain among the lieu¬
tenants. Now, if they are unable to
get together upon what is the best
thing to do for the welfare of the
Department of Public Safety I am
willing to allow them the time which
will elapse between now and the time
a new salary hill is passed to harmon¬
ize their view.s and express it to us
as they will have opportunity to do
during our consideration of the bud¬
get, and leave the situation in the
Police Department, as the lawyers
would say, Status Quo.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the bill become a law notwithstanding
the objection of the Mayor.”
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and were;
Ayes—Messrs.

Noes—Messrs.

Gentlemen:
Bill No. 116, being a Resolution au¬
thorizing the execution and delivery
of a deed to Patrick Wall and Cath¬
erine M. Wall for the property de¬
scribed in said Resolution, upon pay¬
ment of the sum of $161.92 (being the
amount of sewer lien, with costs, un¬
der which the property was bought
at Sheriff’s sale by the City), has been
referred to the T^aw Department for a
report, and we submit the following:
Under date of August 7, 1922, a re¬
port upon this Bill was made to the
Finance Committee of Council in
which it was our opinion that the Res¬
olution as submitted should be dis¬
approved.
From a copy of a communication
to the Finance Committee of Council,
dated October 6, 1922, signed by Hen¬
ry Moorhead, E'sci,, representing Pat¬
rick Wall and Catherine M. Wall, it
appears that a new offer of $728.58 has
been made for the two lots in ques¬
tion, this sum being made up of the
sewer claim, debt, interest and costs,
cost of deed, and taxes from 1899 to
1922, both inclusive, with the request
that the Resolution be approved with
this amendment as to price.
In view of the fact that the Chief
Assessor has placed a value of $1,000
upon this property, and the' further
fact that the persons who now seek
to acquire title are the parents of
James P. Wall, deceased, who was the
owner of same when taken over by
the City, it is our opinion that the
proposition of $728.58 is fair and
equitable, and that the resolution
should be amended to that the price
read $728.58 instead of $161.92, and
after such amendment it should re¬
ceive favorable action by Council.
Tours truly,
RICHARD W. MARTIN,
City Solicitor.
Which was read, received and filed.

Dear Sir;
To confirm mutual and unanimous
understanding between the Mayor and
Council at a conference on October
23, 1922, in connection with the plan
for financing $5,000,000 as presented
by the Railways Company, and which
is acceptable to the Mayor and City
Council, it is proposed and agreed by
the Philadelphia Company, that In is¬
suing of the $2,000,000 Pittsburgh Rail¬
ways Pour Year G per cent. Gold
Notes, which will carry a provision
for annual sinking fund payment of
$500,000, it will advance for the pur¬
pose of this annual sinking fund, out
of its share of the annual return to

in the contract of $3,750,000) to re¬
tire the above mentioned notes within
the specified time.
It is further proposed and agreed
that the Philadelphia Company will
take the New First Lien and Refund¬
ing Bonds of the New Railways Com¬
pany in exchange for this indebted¬
ness, par for par.
It is mutually understood and
agreed that the Philadelphia Com¬

New Company, will lend its aid, as far
as possible, to help the Railways
Company eftect a reorganization as
contemplated in the contract, at the
earliest possible date.
It was tlie impression of the writ¬
er and seemed to be of all those pres¬
ent, that it would require the earnest
cooperation of the Mayor, City Coun¬
cil, City’s Regal Department, as well
as the officers of the Railways Com¬
pany and the Philadelphia Company,
to help ))ring“ about an early termin¬
ation of the receivership, and the re¬
habilitation of the railways.

Which were read and referred to
the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Gnrlniid moved
That a copy of each of these
communications be sent to Mr. C. K.
Robinson, Special Ass’t City Solicitor.
Which motion prevailed,
Mr. Slnglf^h arose and said
Mr. President; I rise to a
question of personal privilege for the
purpose of placing in the record of
Council a few remarks W'hich I think
should be recorded and which can
not be later misinterpreted by design¬
ing or malicious politicians for fac¬
tional advantage. The argument over
the minutes last week is liable to mis¬
lead the public into thinking that I
had deliberately tried to change the
minutes of Council for my personal
benefit.
I was also charged with cant and
hypocrisy because of the change that
the printed statement differed mater¬
ially from what was said to be a
stenographic report of everything I
said on Monday, October 16, when I
voted against the Ordinance to pay the
employes of the Division of Investi¬
gation.
I did not reply to the accuser last
week because I grant him or any oth¬
er member the right to say what he
pleases in Council provided the re¬
marks are not offensive. I realized
that having been prevented from dis¬
cussing the ordinance during its pas¬
sage by his personal interest, it was
natural for him to take a verbal shot
at me consequently. I did not regard
the matter very seriously.
Unfortunately for all of U3 the
newspapers overlooked the point of
Informing their readers that It has
always been -the custom for each mem¬
ber of Council to edit the typed state¬
ment of his own remarks before the
clerk sends copy to the printer. Every
member-of Council has an opportun¬
ity of cutting down or changing his
own statement but has not interfered
with any other. There is a certain
routine of committee reports, roll
calls, etc., which are common to all
and every member has an opportunity
to vote on the minutes before same
are finally adopted. With the excep¬
tion of one meeting last year when
Mr. Winters changed an important
matter at the request of Mr. Oliver I
do not recall any question being raised
that the editing of ones own remarks
was ever construed or misconstrued
as an attempt to change the minutes
of Council since I have been a mem¬
ber of City Council. It was not pub¬
lished that the printed record sub¬
mitted as minutes, do not become the
minutes until approved by majority
vote of Council. As a matter of fact
we have never attempted to keep a
verbatim report of everything that is
said and done in Council. Every
member of Council knows this; all the
newspaper men know this, but the
general public does not know it.
If the action of Council in voting
to print as my remarks the statement
furnished by the gentleman who raised
the question means that every word
of every member is to be put in the
minutes. I for one am satisfied to
abide by that decision. However, if
it is the intention to pass up and not
record a lot of stuff at the whim and
caprice of any one, whether it be the
City Clerks, stenographer, President,
or any member of Council, I must ask
for a definite ruling and understand¬
ing.
Mr. President, as a matter of fact,
the minutes which have been present¬
ed for our approval now do not show
the complete record of last week. I
cannot find the exchange of words
between the President and myself in
the matter of the President's ruling
that when a member is not in his
seat at rollcall he will not be re¬
corded as voting. It surely would not
be fair to me to accuse the President
of Council for attempting to fix the
minutes and I will not do so. I mere¬
ly call attention to this for the pur¬
pose of showing that there are a lot
of things said in Council which are
not considered a part of the minutes
for record. This was not submitted
to me to find out whether It should
be cut out or not, but it was submit¬
ted to some one to cut it out. I mere¬
ly call attention to this for the pur¬
pose of illustrating that the report
which the clerk makes to us as the
minutes are not a verbatim report of
the proceedings, and that many
changes occur before the Council fin¬
ally adopts the minutes as such.
I am only one member of this Coun¬
cil of nine and I do not ask for any
special privileges, but I do insist on
all receiving the same treatment.
As far as any material change or
fundamental difference between the
printed statement which was sub¬
mitted for Council to approve as the
minutes of the meeting of October
16, I assure the members of Council
that I failed to see any. In addition
to my own observation on this point,
I had the word of the gentleman who
made the motion to substitute an¬
other’s statement of my remarks, for
the printed copy, that he did not see
any fundamental difference.
When he made the motion to sub¬
stitute I thought it was a sincere
motion based on what he had just
said to me that there was no funda¬
mental difference, and the thought of
charging him with cant, hypocrisy,
cheating, skulldruggery deceit and
lying never entered my mind. In fact,
I construed the vote of the Council, in¬
cluding the President's reply to me,
that no member had in mind any ul¬
terior motive on my part in editing
my remarks or that I had deliberately
tried to fool either the other members
of Council or the public. Even now
I feel that the members of Council
had no intention by their votes to
give the public an impression that I
had committed a grievous w'rong or
attempted to take advantage of any
one, because they all know now, as
they did last week, that it has been
the custom of this Council to permit
each member to be judge of what was
to be recorded as the remarks of that
member. Any other construction is a
rebuke to the Councils of Pittsburgh,
present and past, I repeat what I
said last week that I had no inten¬
tion of evading or doging any re¬
sponsibility for anything I said Octob¬
er 16, 1922, or on any other occasion
in this Council. Never in my remarks
in Council have I deliberately or in¬
tentionally said anything to person¬
ally offend any person, either mem¬
bers of Council, city officials or any
others and I do not mean to offend
to day.
574
However, v/heu I find the nriover
of the motion to correct the minutes
extending congratulations on the suc¬
cess of mahirg KngllMli “back up.” I
do not know whether to call it cant
hypocrisy or something* not in the
dictionary. I am sorry that such pet¬
ty actions Iiave entered Council, but
for my part it is my aim as a council¬
man Is to serve the people of Pitts¬
burgh. I have: not stooped to petty
snubbing, or humiliating situations
Avhich engender personal animosities,
and I do not intend to lower myself
to the level of the common street
brawler. I have never entered into
any attempts to get even with any¬
body, nor have I tried to make any
member of Council back up at any
time.
I believe every Councilman has the
right to speak and vote as he pleases
as long as he does not become per¬
sonally offensive to his colleagues and
I hope every member will feel as I
do on this matter, otherwise the Coun¬
cil collectively and individually will
sink into the discard, unwept, un¬
honored and unsung.
As to the cant and hypocrisy charge
I will not dignify it by an answer.
In spite of the fact that I have asso¬
ciated with my accuser on many oc¬
casions, politically and socially, I
have no hesitancy in saying that I
think he has profited more by his
associations and affiliations with me
than 1 have profited by association
and affiliation with him. At least’ I
have no personal knowledge that my
efforts to help him in political cam¬
paigns, or our efforts to pass cons-
structive ordinances, make salary and
appropriation ordinances, my vote
which w'as needed to continue the Di¬
vision of Investigation on two or three
occasions, also to pass the appropri¬
ation ordinance over the veto of the
Mayor or $14,000.00 life insurance pol¬
icy were ever called cant and hypo¬
crisy by my accuser or any of his
friends. I would be sorry to think
that he has been tw’o-faced with me
all the years back and as a matter
of fact, I do not think so.
I am inclined to think that the two
verdicts in the cases, the approval of
the payment ordinance by Council and
the Mayor and, perhaps, receipt of
the money, has caused a cog to slip.
However, I do not intend to back up
or shift my firm convictions when I
think I am right and just as a mat¬
ter of record in case the threat of last
week to use my remarks of October
16th, 1922, on some future occasion
is attempted by any one, I will brief¬
ly run over a few of the things which
might help some one in the future.
Mr. President, the complete record
of the history of the Division of In¬
vestigation will show that from the
very beginning when I proposed it in
1918, I have supported it constantly,
Avhile others who profited by it never
were for it at all and only used it
as a part of refuge when in trouble.
Only when it became, in my opinion,
a political whip, did I withdraw my
support of those who were abusing
the purpose for which I asked its
creation.
Mr. President, I have no hesitancy In
saying that under the rules of our
Court proceedings, in the two trials
affecting the Division of Investiga¬
tion, none of the real facts and
truths were brought to the attention
of either the Court or the public.
I accept full responsibility for this
statement and base it on the follow¬
ing facts all of which are matters of
record and easily obtained by any
person seeking the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
Look at the Municipal Record of
March 11, 1918, page 177, and see who
voted for and against the creation of
this Division of Investigation. Look
at the record for March 18, 1918, page
190, and see who voted to create the
division, notwithstanding the veto of
the Mayor.
Look at Municipal Record of Feb¬
ruary 25, 1918, Page 146, and see who
voted for and against passing the ap¬
propriation for it over the veto of the
Mayor.
Look at the Municipal Record of
March 18, 1918, Page 202-3-4-5 and
see who voted for and against select¬
ing the investigators and what they
said at that time.
Look at the Municipal Record of
January 3, 1921, Page 5 to 19, and see
who voted for and against the ve¬
toed appropriation for this Division
and what was said by each at that
time.
Then look at the following array
of information which could not be
presented at the two trials.
That all city positions other than
elective positions are for one year
only.
That an amendment to the Salary-
bill of 1920 was passed by Council for
the year 1921, which did not give the
Mayor an opportunity to pass on the
complete Salary Bill as such.
That the Council was never advised
that the employees of the Division
had attempted to collect the first two
week's salary for 1921 at the time
of the attempt.
That the City Clerk who made the
appointments never officially notified
the employees of the Division that the
appropriation had not been passed
over the veto of the Mayor and there¬
fore they need not expect him to sign
any more warrants for their pay for
1921.
That Council was never informed
that some one had drawn a payroll
warrant and presented it to the Con¬
troller and were advised by him that
as there was no appropriation the
Controller could not countersign the
warrant for payment.
That the Council was never told by
the City Solicitor about the first case
or advised that the case was on trial
until It was over.
That the City Solicitor's answer in
the first case, attempting to justify
the refusal for payment on the ground
that Council had no power to create
the Division of Investigation was
diametrically opposed to the views of
practically every member of Council,
including those who voted to sustain
the Mayor's veto of the appropriation,
as well as those who voted to over¬
ride the veto for the 1921 appropria¬
tion. Further that had the Council
been advised of this position by the
City Solicitor, that Council had no
power to create the Division such ac¬
tion by the City Solicitor could have
been repudiated by Council.
That no opportunity was given to
show that the chief of the Division
was fully acquainted with the customs
and practice of the city in the matter
of vetoes, appropriations abolishing
and creating of positions, etc., and
that he had personal knowledge of the
failure of the appropriation.
That the question of overriding the
veto of the Mayor or the appropriation
was not even considered and instead
the matter actually considered was
whether or not the ordinance creating
the Division of Investigation was re*,
pealed.
That no opportunity was given to
show that every ordinance creating
positions is merged into the annual
salary bill and annual appropriation
bill in the next year following the
passage of such creation ordinance,
otherwise the same Code number writ¬
ten in the creating ordinance would
have to appear in the annual appro¬
priation bill for the following year.
No opportunity was given to show
that the changes of the appropriation
Code number every year since the cre¬
ation of the Division in 1918 is proof
that the existence of the Division
does depend on the passage of the ap¬
propriation bill.
No opportunity was given to show
that mere creation of a position by
the passage of a creating ordinance
alone is not enough to give the back¬
ing of a Court decision to compel pay¬
ment of City money to any person
who makes a claim for salary when
there was no legal appropriation for
such salary.
No opportunity was given • to show
that creation ordinance v/as of no ef¬
fect unless it carried the appropri¬
ation clause.
No opportunity was given to show
City records, particularly the appro¬
priation for Public Works Inspectors
when the former rate at an annual sal¬
ary was changed to a daily wage
without any reference to the number
of Inspectors or to show the names
of the Councilmen who voted for this
change. This being another proof
that the appropriation ordinance does
govern City employment and that
positions created by ordinance of
Council arc for one year only.
No opportunity was given to show
that there are no preferred classes of
City employees whose positions are
established by ordinance of Council, as
for example—Laborers in the Bureau
of Highways and Sewers, who are dis¬
charged when the appropriation is
exhausted or not provided.
No opportunity was given to show
that if the Mayor’s veto of an appro¬
priation bill has no effect. A majority
of Council can load a City payroll to
a burdensome degree with no protec¬
tion to the taxpayer as long as the
decisions in these cases are accepted
as final.
No opportunity was given to show
by testimony of Controller, Council-
men, Clerks or others, anything what-
676
soever relating to the adopted and
accepted practice of the City for
years and years in the matter of cre¬
ation and continuance of positions on
the City payroll.
Mr, President, every member of this
present Council, and councilmen and
Mayors of past years, know full well
and the thousands of City employees
all know that the employment of every
City employee runs from year to year
and depends absolutely on the pas¬
sage of the annual appropriation ordi¬
nance. I refer, of course, to positions
established by ordinance of Council
and not to elected officials, whose
status is fixed by the Legislature.
It is common knowledge that the
law requires a majority of Council
(five at present) and the approval of
the Mayor to pass any ordinance and
if the Mayor does not approve, but
vetoes a bill, it requires a two-thirds
vote of Council (six at present) to
override a veto to make any ordi¬
nance a law, notwithstanding the veto
of the Mayor,
In the matter of appropriation bills
the Mayor has been given broad pow¬
ers by the Act of the Legislature
which reads as follows;
“The Mayor may disapprove any
item or items (or part, or parts of
the same) of any biill making appro¬
priations and the part or parts of the
bill approved shall be the law; and
the part or parts disapproved shall
be void unless repassed according to
the rules and limitations prescribed
above for the passage of resolutions
and ordinances over the Mayor’s veto.”
As I have just stated it requires a
two-thirds vote of Council or six votes
to pass an ordinance over the veto
of the Mayor.
I have no quarrel with any person
connected with this matter and I have
no Intention to show any disrepect
to the law or to the Judges of our
Courts or the attorneys concerned.
However, I am not satisfied with
any Rules of Proceedure or Juris¬
prudence which decides a case of this
kind when only one side is
heard, and the facts on the other
side cannot be admitted. To my
mind this is the kind of thing which
prompted the splendid speech of for¬
mer Vice-President Marshall at Syria
Mosque on Friday, October 27th, 1922,
at the 75th anniversary of No. 1
Commandery Knights Templar, when
he said that our democracy and our
republic would have to justify its ex¬
istence.
The question involved in this mat¬
ter, namely whether the Mayor’s veto
can be overriden in any manner other
than that prescribed by law has not
been settled; it is only sidetracked for
a time; like Banquo's ghost, it will
appear sooner or later. Perhaps I
may seem to ,some biased factionalists
as the one stubborn juror but time
will roll on with or without the
members of this Council and who
knows what a day or an hour may
bring forth.
Mr. McArdle arose and said;
Mr. President, I only want to
pay but passing attention to the re¬
marks which have just been delivered
to us before I proceed to what I re¬
gard as a more important matter. 1
only want to freshen the minds of
the members of Council with relation
to the claims that have just been
made regarding the prerequisite of an
appropriation to make the payment
of money to a city employe legal, or
to make that employe’s claim a legal
one, laying aside any question as to
whether it is a just one.
The members of Council will re¬
member that it failed to make an ap¬
propriation for a certain number of
employees that it had provided in its
salary ordinance at the Exposition
Building. No appropriation was made
for them at that time, the positions
were continued and the men continued
in their service for something like a
month to my knowledge, and were
subsequently paid by the Council pas¬
sing a resolution. That is sometime
ago. Within the past two or three
weeks Council passed a bill setting
up money to pay for services in the
Bureau of Engineering where there
was no longer an appropriation to pay
for those servicec but where the
employees had continued to serve
the city according to information fur¬
nished me individually and to the
committee, I believe, collectively, for
a period approaching two months; and
these bills were paid, of course, as
they rightly should have been paid. I
think that no one who professes to
have even a passing knowledge of
municipal governmental laws and reg¬
ulations, coupled with just an ordi¬
nary sense of honesty, will make any
claim that by any process the men
who rendered that service could have
been deprived of their compensation.
Now, I want to go back to the af¬
fair of two weeks ago, and as I pre¬
sent this matter I only ask, gentle¬
men of Council, that it be taken into
mintl when thought is given to what !
w’e have just listened to, Mr.
in his speech used these words, “I re¬
gret to inform you, Mr. President,
that I have had an opportunity of ap¬
pearing in the second case, being a
witness to the entire proceedings,
which last a half day and a few
hours of the next day, and I regret
exceedingly that not a single bit of
fact was brought out touching the
point which is at Issue in this case
and which concerns the payment of i
money from the City Treasury, and j
that fact is that not one word W'as
uttered regarding the vetoes—not a
bit of testimony was even allowed to
be taken—not even a bifr of testimony
was allowed to be taken, to show that
the right course of procedure had not
been followed in this case, which had
been followed hundreds of times In
my owm limited experience as a mem¬
ber of Council.” I want to quote
from the stenographic record of this
case as it has been filed in the office
of the Prothonotary as a part of the
records of this case, I want to begin ;
with the testimony of Mr. Martin, the i
City Clerk, at this time, . a witness I
called to the stand by the defendant’s |
attorney, Mr. Martin, representing the
City of Pittsburgh.
Question by Mr. Martin: "Mr.
Martin, I show you a certified
copy, marked Exhibit A, or part j
of Ordinance No. 473 which was |
enacted into a law on the fourth
day of December, 1920, and ask
you if that Is a copy of that por¬
tion of the appropriation bill or
budget bill for the year 1921 that
contains appropriations made for
the Bureau of Division of Inves¬
tigation?
A. It is.
Q. In order to explain this In red
lines on the fourth page, I
will ask you whether when
the bill was originally passed
it was passed with the words
and figures in which appear
on the fourth page and the
head of the fifth page under
the title “Division of Investi¬
gation”?
A. They did.
Q. And to save printing I believe
after the Mayor had vetoed
these items you struck them
out in red. Is that correct?
A. Correct.
Q. I show* you, Mr. Martin, Ex¬
hibit B and call your atten-
tention to a page marked No.
669 and 670 and ask you
whether that certified copy
of the record shows the veto
by Mr. Babcock, then Mayor
of the City of Pittsburgh, of
the items in the appropriation
bill for the year 1921 which
concern the Division of In¬
vestigation ?
A. It does.
Q. And just to check that, will
you state whether the Mayor
vetoed all the items appropri¬
ated by Council for that di¬
vision ?
A. He did.
Q, Including the item of the ap¬
propriation providing for sal¬
ary for the head of the de¬
partment?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. I show you now Exhibit C,
which purports to be a certified
copy of the proceedings of
Council of the City of Pitts¬
burgh for Monday,January 3rd,
1923, containing the action of
Council sustaining the objection
of the Mayor on that veto and
calling your attention to page
19 of that certified copy I ask
you whether the matter at the
head of the page shows the
action of the Council of the
City of Pittsburgh upon the
veto by the Mayor of the
items in the appropriation bill
for the Division of Investiga¬
tion?
A, It does
Q. And was the action of the
Mayor in vetoing the appro¬
priation for that division for
the year 1921 sustained or ov¬
erruled?
A. The action of the Mayor was
sustained by a vote of 5 to 4.
Q. The vote being 5 to override
the Mayor’s veto and 4 to sus¬
tain the veto and it required
the 6 votes?
Mr. Martin (City Solicitor):
I offer in evidence Exhibit A,
being that part of an ordi¬
nance making appropriations
to pay the expenses of con¬
ducting the public business of
the City of Pittsburgh and for
meeting the debt charges
578
thereon for the fiscal year be¬
ginning January 1st, 1921, and
ending December 31st, 1921,
the reference being to the part
of the appropriation ordinance
providing for the salaries, mis¬
cellaneous services, supplies
and council's investigation fund
of the division of investiga¬
tion; also Exhibit B, with spe¬
cial reference to page 669
which shows the veto of the
mayor of the City of Pitts¬
burgh of that part of Bill No.
1867, which is Exhibit A, where¬
in appropriations are made for
the salaries and expenses of
the division of investigation
and showing that the veto of
the mayor was laid before the
Council of the City of Pitts¬
burgh; and also Exhibit C,
being a certified copy of the
proceedings of council of the
City of Pittsburgh for Monday,
January, 1st, 1921, with special
reftrence to page 19, whereon
the chair took up the items of
the appropriations for the di¬
vision of investigation, which
had been vetoed by the mayor,
and the objections of the may¬
or to these items were sus¬
tained by a vote of Council,
the vote being five to override
the veto and four to sustain
the veto.
Mr. Martin:
Q- Mr. Martin, I call your atten¬
tion to Exhibit No. 1, which is
the ordinance originally creat¬
ing this division and referring
to Section 2 of it, will you
what code account No.
1010 in that ordinance is?
A. Code Account No. 1010 is the
account set up by the Division
of Investigation, salary.
Q- And that code account was set
np for the year 1918?
Yes, sir.
And in the year, for the period
of the year 1919, there was a
new code account set up by
the appropriation bill of that
year for the salaries of this
division?
Yes, sir.
^ 1920 there
as still another code ac-
onnt set up for the salaries
of the division in the ap¬
propriation bill for the year
1920?
A. Yes.
Q. And in the year 1921, as we
have seen, there was no ap¬
propriation made for this di¬
vision?
A. There was an appropriation
made, but it was vetoed.
Q. Yes, Council made an appro¬
priation. The items in the
appropriation bill were vetoed
by the mayor and council re¬
ceived the veto message of the
mayor containing his objec¬
tions to the items and upon
their action they sustained the
action of the mayor in veto¬
ing the items.
That is right?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. So there was then in the year
1921 at no time any appropria¬
tion for the payment of salar¬
ies, expenses and supplies for
any division of investigation of
the City of Pittsburgh?
A. No, sir.
Q. By that answer I intend to
cover, so there will be no
question about it, any subse¬
quent action by council of the
City of Pittsburgh during the
year 1921. They at no time
made any appropriation for
those salaries?
A. No, sir.
Mr. O’Brien: Objected to as
being incompetent, irrevelant
and immaterial to the issue in
this case.
Mr. Martin: You are not
objecting to the method of
proof?
The Court: Not to the
method of proof but to the
relevency and competency of
it. Objection overruled with
the same effect ns if the objec¬
tion had been made seriatim
as the offers were made."
Now, Mr. President, I want to read
just a word of the charge of the
Judge to the Jury to see whether he
knew anything about whether the
question of the Mayor's veto had en¬
tered into the case. He says:
"It appears that in the salary or¬
dinance of 1921, that is the ordi¬
nance for the year beginning Jan-
uary, 1921, council incorporated pro«
viaions for the payment of the sal¬
aries of the employees or appoin¬
tees of this division or branch of
the city government. The mayor,
exercising the power vested in him
by law, vetoed so much of that ap¬
propriation or salary ordinance as
provided for the payment of the sal¬
aries to which I have referred and
that veto was sustained by coun¬
cil.’'
Now, Mr. President, I have read all
that I think it is necessary to read
to prove beyond the peradventure of
doubt that not only the essence of
the speech delivered two weeks ago has
no foundation whatever in fact, but
that there is little in fact to base
faith on any part that has been said.
I am not presenting this through any
personal concern that I have about it.
But I have a concern as a member of
this Council to know as far as we
may be able to know it, whether
representations made here are in ac¬
cordance with the facts and the truth.
Now, I want to make the offer
to permit anyone who has any interest
in this record to examine it thorough¬
ly and to make the further offer, if
it is the will of Council that it be
copied by our clerk before it is re¬
turned to the Prothonotary's office
where it belongs, so that there will be
no question whether I shall have read
as fully as I should have and put a
different light upon the presentations
of the facts I have by the reading of
it.
Mr. English arose and said:
Mr. President, I am very glad, in¬
deed, that Mr. McArdle has read that
into the record, and I can see, looking at
the situation as he does, of the second
trial only, that he is entirely correct
in what he says, and I think if he
would put himself in my position of
viewing the matter as I view it from
the very beginning he would not have
charged me as he did with cant and
hypocrisy.
My contention was and is that when
the appropriation for the Division of
Investigation fell by reason of the
fact that the Mayor's veto of the items
for the division was sustained by the
votes of Council, it was the duty of
the City Clerk to notify Mr, McArdle
and the other employees in this divi¬
sion that there was no appropriation
to pay them for 1921 and if they in¬
sisted on going ahead it would be on
their own responsibility and risk. If
that notice had been served these em¬
ployees, what would have happend?
I
I Ordinarily they would have ceased to
i perform any further service for the
I city. But the City Clerk did not notify
i these employees. If he had notified
j them that he could not sign any war*
rants for 1921 because there was no
! appropriation on account of the veto,
j the city would have had a good de-
! fense in the fiirst case as the City
Clerk was the appointing power,
What happened then? The employees
start to work and nothing is said to
Council about these employees contln*
uing to work.
If the City Clerk knew these era*
ployees were continuing to work in
spite of his notice of the lack of ap«
propriation, then he should have In*
formed the Council immediately and
definite action one way or another
would have been taken by the Coun¬
cil before two weeks or an entire
year passed. . Perhaps a friendly
i test case could have been arranged.
! I wanted to get the decision, and I
I was satisfied that Council wanted to
get a decision inasmuch as the Coun¬
cil did not refer any matters to the
Division of Investigation early in 1921.
The first suit was brought for ser¬
vice performed, and nobody should
I deny that a person who rendered ser*
I vice is not entitled to compensation
for that service, and upon that Ques¬
tion of services rendered the first suit
was settled, yet Council had no notice
that .service was being rendered until
after the suit had been entered for
services rendered for the first two
weeks in January, 1921.
I I have no quarrel with anyone, and
I can see that under the misapprehen¬
sion Mr. McArdle has labored per¬
haps he seems justified in charging me
as he did.
I know if he had been a member
of Council in 1921 he would have re*
i sented it just as I did and just as he
did last week in the matter of Cora-
I missioner Marshall writing to Steven-
; son & Foster that Council did not
j make a sufficient appropriation for
I cornermen, and just as Mr. McArdk
I objected this morning to allowing Dl*
rector McCandless to appear at a
I hearing arranged for other employee!.
I I agreed with Mr. McArdle on thoM
two things.
I The Council did not know that Mr.
! Pritchard, the City Solicitor, In de*
j fending the first suit was going to
I put up the defense that the Council
I had no power to create these positiona
I I know full well that if the Council
had been informed that this was goini
to be the city's defense I for one
580
would have been opposed to it. That
was no defense at all. Unfortunately
the service went on and Mr. McArdle
and the other employees sued for serv¬
ices rendered and on that basis they
were all entitled to their money for the
first two weeks of January, 1921, be¬
cause they were not notified and Coun¬
cil not having: any notice from the
City Clerk that they were continuing
to work could not take any action.
I have not hesitancy in saying that
whatsoever, and it is a matter of
record that I said this in 1921. But I
say this, also, that when I got into
the second case, our present City So¬
licitor, Mr. Martin, informed me that
this was a matter of law and under
the rules of procedure the City could
not bring in before the Court the facts
and records which I still think should
have been brought into the case. I
wanted the City to show that an ap¬
propriation is only for one year, and
when that code number for that divi¬
sion was put in the ordinance origi¬
nally in 1918 it was only for that one
year. I prepared the ordinance which
created the Division of Investigation
and I know that to make the ordi¬
nance effective it had to provide for
an appropriation, as well as the crea¬
tion of positions. We were not al¬
lowed to show that the ordinance
which I wrote in 1918 was merged into
the general salary and appropriation
for 1919 and 1920. We were not per¬
mitted to show that for 1921 the
Council had passed an amendment to
the salary ordinance of 1920 so that
the Mayor did not have an opportunity
to act on any salary ordinance con¬
tinuing the positions in this division,
because he did not have before him
the ordinance carrying the positions.
The court only ruled on one. point
namely, was the creating ordinance of
1918 repealed? Nobody claimed that
the ordinance as such was repealed by
a specific repealing ordinance; nobody
was allowed to show that the ordi¬
nance would have been repealed had
the Mayor been given the power to
act on it.
I think all this controvrsy is a mis¬
understanding of my statements.
Mr. McArdle arose and said;
Mr. President, as far as I am con¬
cerned there is no misunderstanding,
i am merely trying to show whether
the statement alleged by Mr. Kitglinh
is to be construed as being the facts
of the trial of this case. I read to
you from this record so that you may
know whether they are facts or con¬
trary to the facts, as pointed out in
Mr. English’fi speech, or whether the
Court permitted the introduction of
evidence to show that the Mayor had
vetoed the appropriation for the Divi¬
sion of Investigation or not.
I think I have proven beyond the
possibility of a doubt that the state¬
ments made here are wrong, and you
can bring in other superfluous matter
until you make the morning fog of
this morning look like sunshine, but
you cannot change the facts as they
are made in this case.
Mr. Herron arose and said;
Mr. President, it seems to me I had
better clear the name of the City
Clerk, and keep him out of this.
There is an old adage, “If you convince
a man against his will he will be of
the same opinion still."
I was President of Council, and I
went to Mr. Martin and said to him,
“Don't notify any of these employees
to hand in their resignations; Council
will take care of them.”
The record will show that from time
to time we sent over to this division
matters that we wanted them to in¬
vestigate, and I want to say to Mr.
English if he would have taken my
advice he would have known that the
Council was supreme and Council
could function regardless of the atti¬
tude of the Mayor.
The Chair said:
The subject before us was on the
question of personal privilege of Mr.
Engli: h. Mr. Me.4rd1e I take it under
question of personal privilege replied
to those remarks. I do not take it
that the Council wants to reopen and
hear this case, and I do not think we
ought to try it any further in Council,
Mr. Herr<in arose and said:
I do not want to have anything
printed which would tend to be a re¬
flection on the City Clerk.
Mr. RfiberiNon moved
That the minutes of the pro-
ceed'ngs of Council for Monday, Oc¬
tober 23, 1922, be approved.
V.'^hioh mot'on prevailed.
The Chair said:
Gentlemen, what is your attitude as
to publishing the remarks as made
today in the proceedings of Council?
Mr. McArdie moved
That the remarks be included
In the record of today’s proceedings.
Which mofon prevailed. (Mr, Gar-
Innd voting NO.)
And on motion of Mr. Garland
Council adjourned.

Which was read.
Mr. Ciarinnd also presented
No. 1767.
November 2nd, 1922.
To the President and Members of
Council
City of Pittsburgh
Gentlemen:
By letter dated November 1, 1922,
Chas. Weible, Clerk of Finance Com¬
mittee, reported that a meeting of the
Finance Committee held October 31,
1922, Bill 3 679, a resolution authoriz¬
ing the tran.sfer of the aggregate sum
of $28,000.00 from certain code ac¬
counts in the Department of Public
Works to certain other code accounts
in the Bureau of Engineering, was af¬
firmatively recommended to Council,
contingent on a report from the Di¬
rector, explaining why it is neces¬
sary to transfer this sum to salaries,
and stating that the letter accompany¬
ing the resolution was unsatisfactory
and that the Committee desires a copy
of the report for each member of
Council.
In accordance with the motion of
the Finance Committee, I respectfully
submit the following report:
The set-up in salaries from Tax
Levy for the Bureau of Engineering
in the Budget for 1922, was based on
591
the Bureau doin^ a certain amount
of work, exclusive of bond work,
which would have permitted the em-
idoyment of a certain number of em¬
ployes in each sei)arate division of
the Bureau throughout the entire year
of 1922. The amount of work con¬
templated was increased from time
to time, in accordance with legisla¬
tion passed by Council and approved
by the Mayor, with the result that
instead of carrying a small force of
men in the spring and fall of this
year, it was necessary to employ
])ractioally the full quota allowed by
the number of positions set up in the
Budget, throughout the whole year,
and in addition thereto, as the bond
issue work was completed. it was
found necessary to hold the employes
working on tiie bond issue wtjrk and
use said employes on the assessment
and tax levy appropriation work. It
was necessary to follow this procedure
and pay same out of the tax levy ap¬
propriation money or stop construction
work after same was well under way.
It was thought that shortly after the
summer months the work on hand
would he all that would be done dur¬
ing the year and the number of em-
])loyes could be gradually diminished,
but instead of this condition obtain¬
ing. additional new improvement work
has been added with the result that
the funds in several of the Divisions
of the Bureau are insufficient to pay
the salaries to complete said work. In
fact, some of this work will have to
he carried over into the year 1923 as
it will.be impossible to complete many
of the contracts this year.
The same explanation obtains for
the other items contained in the res¬
olution, such as advertising, carfare,
salaries, and the purchase of castings,
suImplies and equipment, all of which
increase as the volume of work in¬
creases.
It is an absolute fact that the 3u-
rcau of Engineering has carried on a
great deal more contract work than
was at all contemplated in the prepar¬
ation and passage of the Budget last
fall.
Yours truly,
CHAS. A. FINLEY,
Direptor.

Bill No. 1590. An Ordinance

Ilcmestearl, in the manner and form
provided for herein, for the purpose
of enabling the City of Pittsburgh to

In Council, November 6, 1922.
Returned by the Mayor without ap¬
proval and laid over for one week and
a conference to be arranged by either
the C'hair or the Mayor.
Which was read.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
become a law notwithstanding the ob¬
jections of the Mayor?”
INTr. KiiglfMii arose and said:
Mr. President, I understand
that this is a mere technicality, and
that the Mayor is indifferent as to
whether or not this bill passes over
his veto; it does not mean anything
as far as he is concerned. There
might be a technicality raised as to
the rules that a suljject once killed
in Council cannot be brought up dur-
KKrORTS OF COMMTTTFKS.
ing' the life of that Council, and it is
just as well to refer to that techni¬
cality. Thei’efore, in order to avoid
any lejia) technicalitie.s Council should
pass the ordinance notwithstanding
the v<‘to of (he Mayor and later pass
an a mo ruling- ordinance to include the
.sujAge.stions of our Special Assistant
City Scjlicitor, C. K, Uobinson,
The repres<MUatives of the Borough
of Homestead are willing- to accept
the change.s suggested, which do not
materially change the provisions of
the ordinances which came to Council
from our Special Assistant City So¬
licitor in its original form.
Due to the fact that a preponderance
of the votes of the people of Home¬
stead at the recent election were in
favor of a bond issue to pay for the
cost of laying water lines in order
to (tl>tai!i city water, I think Pitts¬
burgh Council should show good
faith by ])assing this ordinance not¬
withstanding the veto of the Mayor;
and if there are any changes which
he desires we can pass a supplement¬
ary or amending bill later. There¬
fore, I think Council should pass the
bin notwithstanding the veto of the
lilayor.
And the question recurring, “Shall
the bill liecome a law notwithstanding
the objections of the Mayor?'*
The Ayes and Noe.s were taken

DEPARTMENT OP LAW
Pittsburgh, November 25, 1922.
City Council.
Gentlemen:
On Bill No. 1802, requesting a re¬
port from this Department of a case
recently decided in New Jersey that
may have some bearing upon a pro¬
posed Zoning Ordinance, I desire to |
report that I find upon investigation
the case in question in that of Roamer j
Realty Company vs. Board of Com¬
missioners of the Borough of Haddon- i
field. '
It appears that in 1915 the Borough j
passed an ordinance providing that |
no frame, or partly frame, houses :
should be erected within 200 feet of j
any part of King’s highway or Main
street without the consent of the
Board of Commissioners, and also that
no building of any kind less than
two stories high shall be erected on
the aforesaid streets within 80 feet
of any building or fence line without
the consent of the Board of Commis¬
sioners.
In the Act of New Jersey Regulat¬
ing Boroughs, Revision of 1897, it is
provided that—
'‘The Borough Council of
every borough shall have
power by ordinance to regu¬
late, control and prescribe
the jmethod and manner of
building, constructing, alter¬
ing or removing dwelling
houses and all other buildings
or structures of every kind
and nature, erected or to be
erected in any such borough
and the kind and quality of
the materials to be used
therein, and to prohibit with¬
in certain limits, to be from
time to time prescribed by
ordinance, the building or
erection of any dwelling,
building or structure of wood
or other combustible mater¬
ial.”
and the Court held that height regu¬
lation of the ordinance was not a
valid exercise of the police power,
and that there was no more fire haz¬
ard from a two-story building than
from a one-story building. The Court
therefore held that that portion of
the ordinance regulating the height
of buildings would be exscinded, and
that the remainder of the ordinance
would be held valid.
It will be observed that this is not
in any sense of the word a zoning
ordinance based upon a zoning
statute. The statute wa.s undoubted¬
ly passed for the purpovse of prevent¬
ing fires and that provision of the
ordinance questioned was not cal¬
culated to add or further the statu¬
tory intent.
I am of the opinion that the case
is not authority for the proposition
that under a proiier delegation of
power a municipality cannot regulate
the height and bulk of buildings.
Y'ours truly,
THOS. I\L BENNER,
First Assistant City Solicitor.
Which was read.
Mr. GnrIniMl moved

Which motion prevailed.

is, that the contractor shall reduce
said rate to a rate equal to the cost
of doing the work, plus $1.50 per ton
net profit. This rebate in the year
1921 amounted to $68,083.94.
This amount of $1,377,000 is reached
by estimating the probable collection
of garbage and rubbish to be approx¬
imately 90,000 tons each, at the pres¬
ent rate, namely; $7.03 per ton for
garbage and $8.27 ton for rubbish,
I am of the opinion, from interviews
with the Presidents of the companies
now holding the contracts, that there
will be no reduction in the price per
ton, in their bid for this work during
the year 1923. The total collection of
garbage for the year 1921 was 90,642,
and rubbish 87,11C. For the first 10
months of this year the garbage col¬
lection for this city exceeds by 953
tons the garbage collections for the
same period of last year; and the
collection of rubbish shows a decrease
of 241 tons as compared with the first
ten months of 1921. The increase in
the collection of garbage justifies my
belief that the cost of the collection,
removal and disposal of garbage and
rubbish for the year 1923 will equal
the amount as estimated and submit¬
ted to you in my budget.
Very truly yours,
C. J. VAUX,
Director.

November 28, 1922,
To the President and Members of
Council of the City of Pittsburgh.
Gentlemen:
The Commission has given thought
and study to the proper development
of the Saw Mill Run Valley. This in¬
vestigation lias not been as complete
as the Commission desires, on account
of the amount of time required for
the study of the zoning ordinance.
At a special meeting held November
27th, 1922, which was called for the
purpose of discussing this proposition,
it was the sense of the Commission
that it had no objection to the repeal
of Ordinances Nos. 586 and 587, ap¬
proved December 23rd, 1921, which
ordinances anihorize the condemnation
of certain properties in this valley for
park purposes.
The Commis.sion has, however,reached
the conclusion that it is essential, for
the purpose of providing adequate
traffic facilities for those sections of
the City and County immediately south
of the river, that a traffic highway of
adequate width should he provided
throughout the valley, extending from
the West End, following the low lands
adjacent to Saw' Mill Run, to a con¬
nection with MTarrington and West ;
Liberty avenues at the south approach |
to the Liberty Tunnel; and from that
point continue along the course of
the Run To a connection with Library
road and Nobles Lane in Overbrook
and Carrick Boroughs. Also that It is
imperative that a sanitary sewer be
built to take care of the sewage of the
present City and possibly for the bor¬
oughs immediately adjacent thereto.
In order to carry out this program
It seems evident to the Commission i
that the section betw'een Warrington
avenue and Library road is a joint
proposition and should be taken care
of by an agreement between the City
of Pittsburgh, the County of Alle¬
gheny and the interested boroughs.
Inasmuch as the boroughs and town¬
ships adjacent to the City are the chief
beneficiaries, it seems to the Commis¬
sion that a reasonable basis would be
for the City to provide a sufficient |
right of way through this portion of 1
the valley. This is, of course, sub¬
ject to an agreement to be entered
into between the proper officials of
the City of Pittsburgh, the Commis¬
sioners of Allegheny County and the
officials of the boroughs. The Com¬
mission believes that no step should
be taken toward acquiring the land
for a right of way until a satisfactory
agreement for the construction work
has been executed.
The section between Woodruff street
and Warrington avenue is more par¬
ticularly a City proposition, A tenta¬
tive agreement was prepared during
the past year, between the City and
officers of the Pittsburgh and West
Virginia Railw'ay Company and the
West Side Belt Railroad Company,
which provides for the transfer of
certain properties, now' owned by the
railroad companies, to the City of
Pittsburgh. This includes rights of
tunneling under the right of way and
the tracks of the railroad company,
for a sewer and highway adjacent to
Woodruff street, the placing of piers
in the yards of the West Side Belt
Railroad Company, for a proposed
viaduct acros.s the valley from the
intersection of Boggs and Southern
avenues, the vacation of certain
streets and the opening and improve¬
ment of Dawn avenue, etc. The City,
for the properties taken, comprising
approximately sixteen (16) acres, was
to compensate the railroad companies
at the rate of Two Thousand ($2,-
000.00) per acre. This property would
provide the necessary right of way
for both sanitary sewer and highway
for approximately one-half the dis¬
tance between Woodruff street and
Warrington avenue.
For the remainder of the distance
it is possible that a satisfactory agree¬
ment can be effected for the purpose
of securing the necessary width of
right of way for a roadway. Informa¬
tion relative to the opening of a
thirty-three (33) foot roadway through
this portion of the valley has recently
been obtained. The location of this
may have a very material bearing
upon the question.
The Planning Commission desires to
be of the greatest service to the
Council in the solving of this problem
and W'ill present, at the earliest pos¬
sible date, plans for the general im¬
provement of the valley. For this
purpose a conference committee, con¬
sisting of representatives of the
County Planning Commission. the
Citizens Committee on City Plan and
641
your Department of City Planning', 13
studying this subject.
Yours very truly,

Secretary.

MAYOR'S OFFICE
Pittsburgh, December 11, 1922.
To the Council:
In response to the action of your
honorable body as contained in Bill
1952, directing the Mayor, the City
Solicitor and the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works to take
immediate action towards improving
the condition of the water supplied
to certain sections of the city by the
South Pittsburgh Water Company, I
send herewith a communication from
the Director of the Department of
Public Works which contains an an¬
alysis of the conditions of such water
and the causes therefor, Bacterolog-
ically. he says, no exceptions can be
taken to the supply. Therefore, we
can make no appeal to the State De¬
partment of Health. The objection¬
able features are a large degree of
hardness and marked tastes and
odors. All of these things are due
to the considerable reduction in the
stream flow of the Monongahela river
from which the South Pittsburgh
Water Company takes its supply.
The Director, after mentioning the
possibility of purchasing the South
Ihttsburgh Water Company and link¬
ing the idping system up with the
Aspiiiwall Filtration Plant, also sug¬
gests the more feasible plan of a
complaint before the Public Service
("ommission. What the outcome of
such a proceeding would be I will not
undertake to prophesy. It would de¬
pend upon whether or not means are
available to the utility company for
their elimination.
The methods for reducing the hard¬
ness of the water are well known. As
to removing the nuisance features,
they are not so simple and perhaps
the extent of them in this particular
matter may be such that they will
continue to prevail until the natural
conditions change, namely, a larger
stream flow that will result only from
the end of the drought from which
this region has suffered for a period
of more than six months.
The City Solicitor will present si¬
multaneously with this communica¬
tion a resolution authorizing and di¬
recting him to bring a complaint be¬
fore the I^ublic Service Commision.
If the Council should deem it wise
to take such action and will adopt the
resolution, immediate steps will be
taken before that body.
Resi)ectfully submitted,
W. A. MAGEE,
Mayor.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC V/ORKS
Pittsburgh, December 6, 1922.
Hon. William A. Magee,
Mayor.
Dear Sir:
Under date of December 5, 1 922, I
received from the City Clerk, a copy
of a resolution adopted in Council,
December 4, 1922, relative to furnish¬
ing' filtered water of the very best
quality in those sections of the City
that are supplied by the South Pitts¬
burgh Water Co. The substance of the
resolution is to the effect that the .
Mayor, the City Solicitor and the
Director of the Department of Public j
Works are notified to take immediate ■
action to secure filtered water of the
very l)est quality and free from o-bnox-
ious chemicals in those sections of
the City which are served by the
South Pittsburgh Water Company.
For the information of yourself and
the City Solicitor, I would respectful¬
ly submit the following facts in con-.
nection with the case:
Our water laboratory conducts cer¬
tain continuous tests of the water
supplied by this company. The bac¬
teriological results of these tests are
good and I believe no exception to
the water can be taken on these
grounds. During the past summer
there was a very marked increase in
hardness, the hardness in the Spring
being a little over one hundred, ana
in the late Fall advancing to over
four hundred parts per million. Due
probably to recent rain-fall, this
hardness is now about three hundred
parts per million. By way of com¬
parison, I would state that the hard¬
ness of the City water at the present
time is about ninety. A hardness of
three to four hundred is objection¬
able.
In addition to the increase in hard¬
ness, there was also at times, very
marked tastes and odors which may
have been due to the increased in¬
fluence of trade wastes, in connection
with a very marked reduction in
stream flow on account of drought. J
am unofficially advised that this (lues-
tion has been looked into by the State
Health Department and some of the
objectionable trade wastes eliminat¬
ed. At least our laboratory advises
me that they are not as much in evi¬
dence as formerly.
To get back to the resolution, there
are two ways of complying with the
resolution. One way is for the City
to iiurchase the South Pittsburgh Wat¬
er Company, or as much of it as rests
within the City, and supply the dis¬
tricts with water from the Asp inwall
Plant, This procedure would, of cour.se,
have a very vital bearing on the fi¬
nancial policy of the City, as it means
a large expenditure of money. The
second course* would be for Council,
by the proper legislation, to authorize
City Daw Department on behalf of the '
City, to take the question before the
proper commission on the grounds of
an unsatisfactory supply. I do not
believe that a very good case can be
made against the sanitary quality of
the water.
There are, how'ever, very well
founded objections to the hardness,
tastes and odors.
The methods and costs of overcom¬
ing these objections are not of easy
determination, and the responsibility
for so doing, I understand, does not
rest with this Department.
I have, received several communica¬
tions from Council on the subject of
the South Pittsburgh Water supply
and have replied thereto at some
length: such replies being in the na¬
ture of furnishing data and infor¬
mation in relation to the character of
the water.
There seems to be a general im-
I)ression that it is within the powers
of the Bureau of Water and the De¬
partment to take some active steps
to correct the complaints. I do not
so understand and believe that it
would be advisable to have the Daw
Department advise Council and this
Department as to the proper course of
procedure in order to remedy the con¬
dition complained of.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. A. FINLEY,
Director.
Also
No. 1978. Whereas, numerous
complaints have been made respecting
the water supplied by the South Pitts¬
burgh Water Company, and
Whereas, analysis of the water dis¬
closes an unusual and large degree of
hardness and marked tastes and
odors and other objectionable char¬
acteristics, and
Whereas, it is the desire of the City
of Pittsburgh, that steps be taken im¬
mediately to secure relief from these
conditions. Now therefore, be it
Tlesolved, That the City Solicitor
be and is hereby directed to file com¬
plaint before the Public Service Com-
mis.sion of Pennsylvania against the
South Pittsburgh Water Company
with respect to the service of the
South Pittsburgh Water Company
generally, and more especially w'ith
respect to the unusual and large de¬
gree of hardness in the waters sup¬
plied by the South Pittsburgh Water
Company from time to time, and also
with respect to the marked tastes and
odors of said waters, and also with
G54
respect to any other characteristics
of the water which may be found ob¬
noxious or In any way unsafe or un¬
healthy.
The City Solicitor is further hereby i
authorized and directed to engagre
such engineering and technical as¬
sistants, and to do such other things
as may be Jiecessary to properly pre¬
pare and present said complaint to
the Public Service Commission.

DEPARTMENT OP LAW
Pittsburgh, December 6, 1922.
To the Honorable,
The Council of the City of Pittsburgh.
Centlemen: j
On Bill No. 1953, being a Res¬
olution that the Law Department be
requested to advise Council whether,
under the various Acts of Assembly
governing the improvement of streets
by the City, the City could provide in
the contracts for the laying of side¬
walks and include cost of same in
aw'ards of viewers, will report as fol¬
lows:
The City of Pittsburgh cannot in¬
clude the paving of the sidewalk un¬
der the Acts of Assembly providing
for the grading, paving and curbing
of streets, and cannot under the law
include the cost of the sidewalk as
a part of the street improvement and
assess the abutting property for the
cost of the same.
The City of Pittsburgh in the grad¬
ing, paving and curbing of Sylvan
avenue laid a sidewalk and put in a
curb in front of the abutting proper¬
ties in the year 1894. The amount of
money expended by the City for the
sidew’alk in front of the property of
Martha P. Bigger t amounted to
$.310.96. The contract for the laying
of the said sidewalk and curb was let
by the City of Pittsburgh to James
H. MoQuaide, and in December of the
year 1894 the City passed two ordi¬
nances relating to Sylvan avenue and
the grade thereof. In the construc¬
tion of said sidewalk Sylvan avenue
in front of the Biggert property was
graded to the established grade and
the w^ork v-as done by James H. Mc-
Quaide under the contract and was
accepted by the Department of Pub¬
lic Works of the City of Pittsburgh.
The sidewalk was laid by the City
without any notice having been served
upon Martha P. Biggert as provided
by the Act of May 16, 1891. In this
case Mr. Justice Rise in 23 Pa. Super¬
ior Court held that the sidewalk was
not a tax or local assessment in the
nature of a tax based on special ben¬
efits accruing to the land owner and
could not be included as part of the
cost of the improving of the street
and assessed against the abutting
property owner.
The keeping of the sidewalks in re¬
pair and requiring the abutting prop¬
erty owner to construct sidewalks is
purely a police regulation and is not
a tax at all. The Courts have held
that there is a marked distinction be¬
tween the improving of the roadway
and the construction and keeping in
repair of sidewalks. The constructing
of the sidewalk and keeping the same
in good repair is a duty imposed di¬
rectly upon the property owner and is
in the nature of a police regulation.
It is no more a tax or a municipal
a.ssessment in the nature of a tax than
would be the imposition of any other
duty by virtue of the police powers
of the municipality with a penalty
for its violation.
Wilkinsburg” vs. Home for the Ag-ecl.
131 Pa. Supreme Court 117.
Although a sidewalk is in fact part
of the street, yet a distinction be¬
tween it and the main body and road¬
way of the street has been made, es¬
pecially in regard to the expense of
grading and paving. It is supposed
to be an improvement more beneficial
to the owner and the owners co-cor¬
porator as than the roadway of the
street, which the whole public may
use. Sidewalks are not intended so
to be used. They cannot be used for
the driving of wagons, cattle and
horses over the same. Such use is
prohibited. The sidewalk is held to
be an advantage to the abutting lot
owner, and is, more or less, for his
private use and for the private use
of the other abutting owners along
the thoroughfare.
Greensburg vs, Young, |
53 Pa. Supreme Court 283 ^
The Act of May 16, 1891, in the ^
eleventh section provides that the
municipal authorities may require
sidewalks, boardwalks and curbstones i
to be laid, set and kept in repair and
after notice to the owner or owners i
of property to lay, set or repair such
walks or stone in front of his, her or
their property and his, her or their !
failure to do so, the municipal auth- |
orities may do the necessary work i
and assess the costs thereof upon the
property of the said owner or owners i
in front or along which said side¬
walk Or curbstone so laid, set or re¬
paired shall be situated, and file a
lien therefor or collect the same by =
action of assumpsit. This section of
the Act provides that the cost of a
sidewalk constructed by the munici¬
pality after notice being given by the
municipality and after failure on the |
part of the owner to comply with the
notice, can be collected by an action
in assumpsit. This precludes the in¬
cluding of the cost of the same in
the cost of improving the roadway i
and collecting it by procedure before j
the Board of Viewers who would in- \
elude it in their award. An award
of the Board of Viewers so made !
against the provisions of the Act of ■
Assembly could not stand. '
I
We submit that under the Acts of
Assembly and the decisions of the
higher Courts of the State of Penn-
sylvannia the cost of a sidewalk in
front of property abutting upon the
line of an improvement cannot be in¬
cluded within the cost of the im¬
provement and cannot bo included In
the award of the Viewers.
Respectfully subnjitted,
RICHARD W. MARTIN,
City Solicitor.

sell every passenger car owned by
the city, except the car of the fire

the City of Pittsburgh and the Du-

I Whereas, The City Solicitor of the
I City of Pittsburgh on November 22,
1919, entered into a stipulation with
I the counsel for the Equitable Gas
Company, which provided:
“It is further agreed that counsel
for the City of .Pittsburgh shall in-
I stitute legal proceedings before the
proper tribunal, to determine whether
i the City of Pittsburgh is entitled to
I free gas under the provisions of said
t Westinghouse Ordinance, and, in the
event of the said issue between the
said Equitable Gas Company and the
City of Pittsburgh being heard by
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
and finally determined by the Su-
' preme Court of Pennsylvania, in
favor of said Company, or, if the
case is not heard by the Supreme
Court, in the event that the final
decree of any other tribunal, of lesser
< jurisdiction, which is not appealed
from, is in favor of the said Com¬
pany, then* the City of Pittsburgh
shall pay to the said Equitable Gas
Gas Company, at its published rates,
for all Gras consumed by said City on

and.
Whereas, the rights of the City in
the premises were subsequently liti¬

burgh vs. Philadelphia Co. reported
at 268 Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Reports, Page 234, and the question
of free gas to municipalities has
been subsequently passed upon by
the appellant courts of this state, in j
all of which cases, the decisions have *
been adverse to the municipality to
enforce franchise provisions provid¬

Whereas, the total indebtedness of
the City of Pittsburgh to the Alle¬

meter readings from October 15,
1919, to April 30, 1922, was $41,-

or a total indebtedness of $160,744.33,
and
Whereas, the aforesaid decision of
the Supreme Court was handed down
on June 26, 1920, and
Whereas, it appears that the
amount of gas used from the date of
stipulation, to-wit, October 15, 1919,
to' June 30, 1920, the nearest ap¬
proximate date of the meter readings,
after the final decision of the Su¬
preme Court was Allegheny Heating
Company $10,270.58 and Equitable
Gas Company $33,441.46, making a
total of $43,682.04, and
Whereas, the said gas companies
have indicated a W'illingness to ad¬
just the amount owing by the City to
the gas companies, from the date of
June 30, 1920, thereby .saving to the
City the sum of $43,682.04, provided
the City will not further litigate said
questions, and will arrange for the
payment in the future of the said
bills as hereinafter provided, and
Whereas, the Duquesne Light Com¬

North Side Lighting Plant of the
City of Pittsburgh, and was on April
30, 1922, indebted to the City on ac¬
count thereof in the sum of $178,-
326.81, and is willing to adjust Its
accounts with the City so that the
net amount of $117,062.29 may be paid
to the said gas companies by the
Dunuesne Light Co. and may be
credited against its account with the
City as aforesaid. Now, therefore, be
■ it
I Resolved, That the City Solicitor
; and the Special Assistant City So-

in the sums of $31,157.97 and $85,-
i 904.32, respectively making the total
^ sum of $117,062,29, and be it further
I Resolved, That the Duquesne Light

credit the sum of $117,062.29 against
the amount owing by it to the City
' on account of the purchase of the ^
North Side Lighting Plant, and pay*
the aforesaid sums to the Allegheny

used by the City between the date«t
! of October 15, 1919 and April 30, r
! 1922, and for all claims and charges
I whatsoever .prior to April 30, 1922,
j and be it further
Resolved,^ That the Duquesne Light
Company will continue to apply the
net unpaid balance on account of the
purchase price of the North Side
Lighting Plant to the discharge of
the City's obligations for furnishing
light on the North Side, Pittsburgh,
Pa., and the discharge of the indebt¬
edness of the City of Pit^burgh to
the said Allegheny Heating Co. and
Equitable Gas Co. for gas furnished
to the City after April 30, 1922. It
being the intent and purpose of this
Resolution that the Duquesne Light
Co. shall apply any remaining balance
of monies owing to the City on ac¬
count of the purchase of the North
Side Lighting Plant, first to the d’a-
charge of the City’s indebtedness for
the lighting of the North Side, and
any remaining balance to the dis¬

after April 30, 1022. And it further
appearing* that the said balance will
not be sufficient to meet the entire
indebtedness of the City of Pittsburgh
accruing in 1922 for said purposes,
that the said gas companies will con¬
tinue to furnish gas, and the City
stipulates that it will either in the
budget of 1923 or prior thereto if
possible, arrange to pay and will pay
the net amount of the said gas bills
which may be rendered subsequent
to April 30, 1922.

Resolution of the Mayor and Coun¬

States Senate as to the prices of gas¬
oline in the United States, particular¬
ly In Pennsylvania, and also in ref¬
erence to a law requiring sellers of
gasoline to disclose the contents of

spect to the prices of gasoline in the

respect to prices and quality of gas¬
oline sold, and
Whereas. It appears that fluctua¬
tions exist In these states in the
price of gasoline varying from 5 to 8
cents due largely to the quality of
the gasoline, which is frequently not
disclosed to the buyer, and

ent prices for gasoline are unreason¬
able and excessive and not warranted
by the prices paid for crude oil; Now,
therefore, be it

Whereas, The Dunn & Byan Con¬

construction of a sewer on Hazel¬
wood avenue from Sabine street to
Monongahela river and the extension
of the outfall of the Jones & Daugh-
lin Steel Company sewer adjoining,
and ;
Whereas, The Dunn & Ryan Com¬
pany relying on the fact that the
plans for said work showed a water
line along the side of said sewer ditch
and knowing that if said water line
were in the position shown on said
plans, then with the aid of a ditch
digging machine, said work chould be
speedily done and said company gave
a very low bid for said work, and
Whereas, Said Company began dig¬
ging said sewer ditch and proceeded
to station 3-30 on said plan without
difficulty but, at said station the
water line above mentioned ran out
into the lines of said ditch from 6
inches to 3 feet, making it impossible
for the said contractor to continue
the work with its machine. Immed¬
iately upon meeting this obstruction
the Dunn & Ryan Company called the
attention of the Assistant Engineer
of sewers to said obstruction. They
were instructed to proceed with the
work and take care of said water line
and that in so doing the contracting
company would be compensated in a
claim for extra work, and
Whereas, the Contracting Company
following said advice continued said
work and took care of the water line
but was forced to abandon its ma¬
chine and' was compelled to put on
extra laborers to do said work at a
cost to said company In the amount
of $3,861.70; Therefore, be It
